Amanda's birthday

 We partied all weekend long as we had Amanda's Backer's cake on Sunday.  It was delish....

 On Monday, Mike stayed home from work in the morning and we went to buy her a soccer return that she wanted.  She also got new cleats and a ball last week when she forgot to take her cleats to an away game.  We ran to the store and bought new cleats and still made it back to the game in time :)

We picked up a Subway sandwich and took it to her school for her lunch.  Mike wanted Amanda to come out the curb to get her sandwich.  When she did, he blasted the Beatles' "You Say It's Your Birthday" from his stereo.  So cute!

Sydney did Amanda's candy's poster that afternoon.  It's pretty funny :)  Amanda had a soccer game that evening, so we went to that and also took donuts to share with her team.  Maddy, Sue, Liz and Reggie came to cheer her on, too.
