Alexander's Fifth Birthday Party

Today we celebrated Alexander's fifth birthday at Chuck E Cheese! To be honest, I would have rather planned an at-home party (I love doing themes!), but Alexander really wanted a Chuck E Cheese party, so we went with that. Now that he has "school friends," he was SUPER excited to invite them to his party, along with a few of his other best buddies. It was uber crowded and chaotic, and there was one point where a few of us weren't sure our kids would ever come out of the tunnels. Alexander still won't go near The Mouse, but he still just loves the place. He had a wonderful time and we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the other parents who were brave enough to venture into Chuck E Cheese with their kids on a Sunday afternoon to celebrate with us. Thank you also for all the wonderful presents! What a lucky boy Alexander is! Thanks, all, and Happy Birthday Alexander! I can't believe my big guy is FIVE!

Hey, guys, we're at a party! Wanna look like you're having fun?

Mmmm, pizza makes us feel better!

Cake is even better!

Dancing and posing with Alexander's giggle partner Ava is the best, even with chocolate-smeared faces!
