Alex is One

Because of awesome Blogger my last few posts were erased so this is the second time I am typing this.

One year ago on May 9th Brandon and I were celebrating our third wedding anniversary, I was celebrating my first mother's day and having a baby all on the same day. One year later this weekend was just as busy and just as exciting. Sorry there are a lot of pictures on this post, I just couldn't choose.

On Saturday, May 7th we had our families over to celebrate Alex's birthday. Here is the invite.



Final Preparations.

This is the cake Brandon made for Alex. It took a lot of hours but turned out amazing.

The top was made of cereal treats and fondant. The bottom was made of cake and fondant.

We were so lucky to have so many people come and share in Alex's special day.

Opening Presents. Alex received enough presents to last the rest of his childhood. Thanks everybody!

Alex loved it when we sang Happy Birthday to him.

His first bites of cake.

Getting the hang of it.

Thanks to his Aunt Stephanie Alex enjoyed some ice cream as well. Things went down hill from there.

Turns out the plate is delicious too.

Everyone else enjoyed the cake as well.

Alex was on a sugar high that made his bath extra fun.

On his actual birthday Alex enjoyed playing with his new toys.
Brandon and I gave him one more present on his birthday. It is a pirate ship.

Eating more cake on his birthday in a more civilized way.

On May 9th Brandon and I were also celebrating our fourth wedding anniversary. We all went out to eat as a family.

We had such a fun weekend celebrating with family. We are so lucky to have Alex in our family. He is such a good baby. We love him!
