1. Cort was assigned ice cream. A few years ago he was also assigned ice cream and he brought "sugar FREE" ice cream. Sugar free and ice cream are food for the devil. My family is ice cream junkies and we like our ice cream loaded with tons of fat and calories. Why Cort who is an Andrew by blood did not know this I do not know. However, he has not been able to live it down. Many a family parties were held where conversations were centered around "Remember that one time Cort brought sugar free ice cream?" Some lessons are learned the hard way I guess. So you can imagine that we were all holding our breaths when mom assigned him ice cream. Thankfully he came through with 3 different kinds loaded with all the fat and calories one could want.
2. Andrew Family version of "Happy Birthday" is . . . loud, obnoxious, off-key, annoying, and freaking AWESOME. Watching the horror each time we sing on Grandmas face is also a delight. You would think that after listening to us sing it year after year after year she would get used to it.
3. Watching Tydon blow out Pop's candles while were were singing. They boy has no patience. But when you are that cute guess you don't need any.
4. Pop's got some new wheels. Watch out wild streets in Trenton. 
5. Arm wrestling competition (not to be confused with Brandon's butt in the background). I think Cort won. He is strong because he "lifts once a week guys!". Although Brandon won the leg wrestling competition between him and Cort. No girls participated. Last time we had one of these competitions I arm wrestled mom and she kicked my butt. AND I lift TWICE a week. It must me those heavy buckets of milk she lifts every morning and afternoon. Talk about a gun show. 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS!WE LOVE YOU!

The arm wrestling was HILARIOUS! But even funnier was the leg wrestle where Cort lost.
PS do you think that grandma reads your blog? Just wondering if she would like knowing how much we delight in her face while we scream....er, sing.
Great post! I don't think you could win me anymore in arm wrestle Heidi. I'm old and weak now. My muscles hurt...but...you do have a great dad and we had a great time at his party...even if we do sing a little loud and off-key...and well...obnoxious! Gotta love it!
