Alex's Birthday

We had family and friends over to mom's last Saturday for Alex's 4th birthday. For the last 6 months or so, he has been saying that he wants a Batman, Superman, Joker, Mr. Freeze and the list goes on and on party. So we settled for Batman and Superman with a little Joker! All the kids went swimming and had a fun time. Aunt Amber made Alex 2 cakes this year. And just like last year, when we sang 'Happy Birthday' to him he got all bashful and put his face down. I thought it was pretty cute.
Onhis actual birthday, Alex woke up rather early, but instaed of making him go back to sleep I let him help me make his cupcakes to take to school. It was nice to have some one on one time with him, especially on his birthday!
He helped make cupcakes and then he had some birthday waffles and I sang "Happy Birthday" to him. He got to pick lunch and he picked honey barbeque bonless buffalo wings. Yum! Because I take and pick them up from school everyday, all my kids always want Chris to. So to make his day special Chris picked Alex up. He was super excited when he saw his dad waiting for him!And as a special courtesy, Chris even carried his backpack!
For dinner we all went to Chuck E. Cheese and came home to have cupcakes. With just our little family singing he didn't get as bashful as his party.

Happy Birthday Alex! He is such a cute kid! Amber is amazing with those cakes. What a nice skill to have in the family, huh? Hope his day was super special!
