A 90th Birthday Party

Andy's grandfather turned 90 years old this month, so his family had a party for him. All of his kids (Andy's parents, aunts, and uncles) and grandchildren (Andy's brother and cousins) were there to celebrate. Grandpa lives in a suburb of Philadelphia, so Andy flew out to Philadelphia for a quick weekend.

He stayed at his brother's house and finally got to meet our new niece Jane. She was darling.

Hank was thrilled to have Uncle Andy come to visit. Andy took the red eye and was there Saturday morning to greet Hank when he woke up. The first thing Hank said when he saw him was, "Where is the Star Wars Battlefront II [Xbox] disc?" Apparently he's been looking for that game disc for a long time.

Grandpa's party was at a nearby park. 

They had fried chicken and cupcakes. 

Andy got to see his aunts, uncles, and cousins, some of whom he had not seen in several years.

It was Hank's birthday in a couple of days so Grandpa gave him a Spiderman outfit.

The next day also happened to be Hank's 5th birthday party, so Andy got to go to a second party in as many days. This party was a little louder than Grandpa's. It was at a local pub/bar that has as an indoor kid's play area complete with a jungle gym and Nintendo games. Hank had a blast.

We love these four! 

My sister-in-law, Sarah, texted me after the weekend and said that Andy was the MVP of the party.

Andy got to hand-deliver Hank's birthday present, a Batman video game. Hank was just a little excited.

It was a whirlwind of a weekend, but Andy is so glad he got to celebrate Grandpa and Hank with his family.
