Happy Birthday Andrew!

Happy Monday Friends!

Today is my little brother's birthday, So HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY ANDREW!

I see that I don' t have many pictures of just you! You are always with your cousins or sibling.

I remember the day you were born. Boy, it was a longgg day. Your mom left to the hospital early in the morning, but you were born at like 11:30 p.m.! You were all worth it though. When you were born the nurses couldn't believe how perfect you were. On their apgar scoring, you were 10/10! I remember they said your heart was as strong as can be, because you were "stressed" all day working to make your way into this world but your little heart stayed strong. As a newborn, you were also the most beautiful baby boy your mom had. Ha! Don't tell the rest of your brothers!

There was a time when you did NOT like me. You would always run from me and go to your brothers. That has changed! Before I go to school in the morning you give me a hug and ask, "Are you going to college?" I say "yes" and you say "come back soon, ok Lesya?" 

You also say the silliest things. Your cousin Alex told you he couldn't come to your birthday party because he had to study and you said, "well if you came here, you wouldn't have had to study!"

I also love when you say, "can I sleep with you, Lesya?" You are just so lovable!

Another thing you do is pray every night. You say the Father's prayer with your dad. Then you always ask, "can we say it again Tato (Dad)?" You are always asking about Jesus and when I ask who is Jesus, you say "He died on the cross for us." 

You also love clothes. You cry if your mother doesn't buy you something when she goes shopping! You take 10 minutes telling us what you will wear to church, only to hear that you can't wear that, that doesn't match or we don't wear that to church! 

Finally, you LOVE being the center of attention, and you LOVE your siblings. Especially your sister Leah! You are such a good big brother to her. You also can't sit still-as seen in the picture above.

I was telling my mom the other day that I believe you will grow up to be a genuinely good  person! Your character is forming into one that I like! (It was not so when you were 2 and 3) You were a "cute bad little boy!

So here are so pictures from the party this weekend:

Birthday Boy! Before the pizza came...

Before you opened your gift! You especially loveeeed watch your cousin Karina gave you and the racing cars track your mom and dad got for you! We also made goodie bags for the kids to take home, in orange baggies-your favorite color! 

Overall it was a fun time with family and friends and most of all, Andrew had fun!

Oh, and a funny thing he said earlier today...he wanted a drink we did not have and my dad told him to drink what we had! He started complaining so my dad was like okay, we will use your birthday money to buy you that drink. Andrew said, "but I don't have that money, you stole it!" (My parents took it obviously so he wouldn't lose it, but look at things from his perspective. Lol.)

Have a blessed rest of the week!
