Alex's Birthday

Alex turned 2 today! I can't believe how fast the last 2 years have flown by. It seems only yesterday Elizabeth and I raced off to the hospital, with friends watching the kids until Ruth came over to watch them for the rest of the day.

He has "grown up" to be the most expressive of our children yet, and believe me, that means a lot!

He really enjoyed the birthday cupcakes and eventually got the the idea of blowing out his 2 candles, but then for some reason he started kissing his, over, and over, and over again. Of course we all had a quite a good laugh and it didn't take long before his siblings just had to start doing the same thing!

As you can see he was extremely happy to find out he had finally gotten his OWN Buzz Lightyear action figure, after St Nikolaus so rudely ignored his little heart's wishes for one.

Afterwards the sugar and no afternoon nap finally caught up with him and we found Henry and Alex snuggling on the couch.

PS: Yes, Henry was wearing his pyjamas. At times he loves to just run around in pyjamas all day long.
