Happy Birthday Jonathan and Andrew

It's been two birthdays since I've managed to get a post done. Where does the time go? We celebrated Jonathan's 23rd birthday last Sunday. I don't think he was quite as excited as Andrew was today, but we enjoyed having him over and had a good excuse to have cake.
Today we celebrated Andrew's birthday. He was three a couple of days ago, but it worked out better to do it today and he's not too particular about what day you celebrate on. :) So now my first baby is 23 and my last baby is 3. We had lunch after church and then cake and ice cream. Andrew really loves sweets, so cake is right up his alley. He made a big mess, but enjoyed it. The other two aren't that crazy about cake, but anxiously awaited the opening of gifts. They are suddenly very eager to share their toys with Andrew since he now has something they want to play with too. We let him open his presents and play with them the rest of the afternoon. Jonathan hung around and played a little Hide and Seek or 1, 2,3 as Juan calls it. The adults each got a little nap in too. Maicol is counting down the days until his birthday (96). He has been lamenting how long it will be since Juan's birthday in November. His birthday was just a few weeks before he came to our family, so he has quite a wait to celebrate one with us.
We had a fun day yesterday. We went to a small indoor water park. The boys took a friend with them. We told them we had a surprise for them and Maicol immediately thought of swimming. The only part they didn't get right was that we did not stay overnight as we have done the other two times we went swimming this fall/winter. They had a great time and definitely were ready to sleep last night.
We're still waiting for spring here. We'll have a day of warmer weather and then it's back to cold again. We REALLY can't wait until they can get outside and play everyday!
Grandparents - for Andrew's birthday you bought a Spiderman Mr. Potatohead, two wooden puzzles, a bubble machine and a construction toy that makes lots of noises and moves and shakes.
Here are a few birthday pictures.

Yes, that is Christmas wrapping paper. Hey, it's what I had and Andrew doesn't care!

A noisy toy!

I love cake!

"Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday dear Andrew, Happy Birthday to You."
