Alexander turns 5!

I guess this is posted out of order, but I forgot to post pictures and a recap of Alexander's actual birthday.
A conversation from Alexander's birthday:

Me: Alexander, it's your birthday! You get to choose what we do! Do you want to go back to Chuck E Cheese? Or go to Toys R Us to get a new toy with your gift card? Or maybe the mall play area?

Alexander: No, I just want to stay home and play.

Me: Oh.... Are you sure you don't want to go to Toys R Us and pick out a new toy?

Alexander: No, I have enough toys.

Silly boy. Eventually he did decide that he would like to go to Chuck E Cheese, so we went and had a great time with it being much less crowded than it had been over the weekend.

Alexander was a lucky boy because Daddy came home early to spend some time with his birthday boy! We gave him some Star Wars figurines for his birthday, plus the Mario shirt he is wearing in the pictures.

Then Grandma and Grandpa arrived with some more cool toys and clothes and we all went to dinner at Alexander's pick: IHOP. Happy Birthday, my sweet, funny boy. There isn't a day that goes by that you don't make me smile, laugh, and want to snatch you up and give you a bear hug. Love, love, LOVE that boy!
