Drew's 10th Birthday

We celebrated Drew's birthday this year on the Friday night before her actual birthday. I can't believe she's really 10 years old! By the way, she commented that she was in the worst clothes ever when I took these pictures - her and her friend had just come in out of the rain and were looking a little ratty. Drew's actual, pre-middle school comment was, "I look poor." Ugh. She had a friend over to spend the night, and then we all went to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice, which was pretty good. But, enough about the party. We were all just super excited because, for her birthday...are you ready...we gave her tickets to see Justin Bieber in concert (if you click his name you can see his performance on American Idol just in case you aren't familiar with him). We're all so excited, even though Andy tries to act all manly like he's just tagging along for the sake of his daughter (by the way, he and I sang a Karaoke version of Miley Cyrus's "Party in the USA" at a party last weekend and brought the house down - oh yes, we BOTH know every word). Here's Drew with her cake - a cookies and cream ice cream cake - yum! And here's a little video clip of her opening her tickets. She admitted later that she wanted to cry because she was so excited, but held back because of her friend and the video camera.
