Ok so maybe the whole singing to ourselves in the corner was a little fabricated. Mom fixed a awesome dinner followed by the birthday cake and the traditional Andrew family rendition of "Happy Birthday". I wish that I would have recorded the song and posted it on the blog, but I didn't. It is something that I can't even begin to describe of explain...it is something that definitely needs to be experienced to understand.
After dinner Kace decided to attack Grandma Andrew with snowballs. It was kind of funny to see a 5 year-old and a 81 year-old engage in some snowball action.
Later we settled down to watch some football. This was probably a bad idea because it was NOT a good football day! First the Colts lost to Eric Weddle and the SD Chargers. Then Clayton's FAVORITE team the Dallas Cowboys lost to the NY Giants (Jessica Simpson was not even in the stands!). I must go on by saying that in Pre-Clayton era I did not like the Cowboys. In fact they were one of my top 3 most hated NFL teams. However, seeing the strides that Clayton has taken to become a BYU fan (which in all honesty I don't think was all that hard seeing how he was already attending BYU-Hawaii) I figured that I could cut him some slack and start trying to like the Cowboys. This has not been easy, but after 3 years of marriage bliss it is slowly improving. Now I am rooting for anyone who can beat the devil's team...THE PATRIOTS.
To cheer ourselves up we went outside for a brisk ride on the four wheelers. We only had one sled and two four wheelers, so dad rigged up a make shift sled. This consisted of a large tarp, some baling twine and...yep that's pretty much it!
Clayton is being pulled on the sled in the first pic.

Kami, Kace and I on our tarp.
Clayton and Cort found this old knee board thingy in the garage so they attempted to knee board behind the four wheeler. They were really quite good and it is a lot harder than you might think...I soon found that out.
We ended the day with a little DDR. It was fun for me because playing against my family means that I can actually win some songs. I never, ever win against my dancing king, Clayton (this does occasionally cause contention in our little 2 man family...mostly on my side. Clayton is one that is hard to get riled up). The most amazing part of the night was that Dad got up to dance. However, he did have limitations, he would only dance against Kace. I am very proud of Dad.
Sorry that I gave pretty much the play by play of our day! Thanks to all that helped us celebrate our birthdays!
