Happy Birthday Alexander!!!

How is it possible that we have a little boy who is now 2 years old?!?!? What a blessing you are to us. We had a very busy day today. We tried to make it all about Alex! Daddy started off the morning making french toast and we had breakfast in bed! Then we had to get ready for a visit to the Dr's office. Afterwards we headed to McDonald's for some lunch and playtime. The playland was a little advanced for Alex, but he still seemed to have fun. Then we stopped to get Alex a balloon and he picked out a Lightening McQueen one. He fell asleep on the way home and slept for 2 1/2 hours after we got home.

After waking up he had lots of energy so we did a lot of playing. He of course noticed his present and wasted no time opening it. He got a t-ball set, so we immediately went outside to play with it. It was short lived because he gave in to his real passion, lawn mowing!! Daddy really wishes that lawn mower worked because he wouldn't have to mow anymore! We played with bubbles, drove cars, colored with sidewalk chalk, and even started practicing using the pedals on his tricycle.

We had a yummy dinner of pork steak, homemade mac and cheese, and green beans. Of course had we dessert too!! Alex loved us singing Happy Birthday to him and we did it several times throughout the day and twice after dinner. He wasn't interested in eating the jello pie that Gabbi and Nana had made, but luckily there was one piece of angel food cake left over from Monday's other birthday celebration. We ended the night taking a bath and using our new bathtub crayons and inviting Baby to take a bath too. Luckily we were able to use little baby as a back up when it came to bed time. We then all climbed into Mommy and Daddy's bed for a family snuggle session while watching a movie. What a great day!!!
