Happy Birthday, Alex!

Sorry for the long blogging hiatus. A newborn and a very active toddler tend to keep you busy!

Our wonderful little Alexander turned three years old yesterday! We woke him up early, and he came out of his room to see a bunch of presents, balloons, and a birthday banner displayed on our kitchen table. He made this face without prompting from us.


Cute little booger. :) He immediately grabbed a yellow balloon and said "Oh! Yellow, my favorite!"





He enjoyed playing with his new toys all day, and then we had a special dinner of chicken nuggets (Alex's request). Hooray! :) Then we went to see Toy Story 3, which he loved even though it definitely scared him at some points!


I attempted to make him a Buzz Lightyear cake using buttercream transfer, but it failed dismally. It actually looked ok for my first try, I think, but I could not for the life of me get the image to come off of the wax paper and adhere to the cake. It basically made a huge mess. So I scraped it off and just wrote "Happy Birthday Alex" instead. Oh well. I guess we'll just try again next year!


Happy birthday to our big boy! We love you so much!
