Happy Birthday Andrew!

Our own Andrew Niesen turned 31 on Monday, so we threw him a surprise party (his first ever) at the Andretti go-kart park. We blindfolded him on the way there and drove in circles to confuse him (he was trying to guess where we were based on the direction of the sun - that's Andrew for you). We chose Andretti because - as anyone who has ridden in a car with Andrew knows - he likes to drive fast. Scary fast. The kind of fast that has Rachel screaming at him and his passengers holding onto the door handles for dear life.

We had a blast racing go-karts and playing video games, and eating birthday cake that said "Happy Birthday" in German. Only for you Andrew! Below are some photos from the evening.

How fun. What a great birthday. I am dizzy just thinking about the track.

Cracks me up how Jenn looks like the hot lady on the game she is playing in the last image. What a hot mom!

Brian + Gry: The little girl is none other than Graycen Nudd, daughter of Garrett and Joy. She is quite the social butterfly and attends many of our little get-togethers : ) .........erin
