Alex's Birthday Party

We wrapped up Alex's birthday celebration with his party at The Great Skate yesterday afternoon. We invited all his classmates and some neighborhood friends. We had 24 kids in attendance plus a couple older siblings. Most of the parents stayed and some even skated! We had a "Peanuts" theme and Alex and his buddies had a great time skating around, doing the limbo, and the chicken dance. We had quite a few "first timers" out there but everyone was smiling (despite a few falls). The kids were too busy skating to take the time to open presents. So Alex was able to do that when we got home. He received a lot of really nice gifts: Legos, nerf guns, gift cards, a shark snuggie, a U of M pillow pet, and Star Wars figures. He is a lucky boy!
