Alexander had such a great birthday. On his birthday, we went to a bookstore and got us all some books. Then we went to a little boutique toy store. It had toys out to play with all over the store and the boys loved it. Then we went to lunch with my parents. And we had cupcakes at a local cupcakery. They even gave us a candle for Alexander's cupcake. They were delicious! He had waffles with fruit and whip cream for supper. It was a great day! The next morning we opened presents because Daddy was stuck at work and didn't get home in time (sad he missed the day's festivities). Yesterday, we had a few families and my parents over for a birthday party. They colored pictures of Elmo, danced, made animal sounds, and found bugs with their new bug collecting kits (fake bugs, of course). Alexander is fascinated by bugs, so I thought this was a perfect activity for his party. We had breakfast for dinner for the party since that's what Alexander could eat all day. Everyone loved it. Here are some pictures from the week:
