Alex is 4!

On this day, Alex as born ("MacDuff-like") in 2004.

So today is his special day.

It started off with dad* making home-made waffles (as opposed to Eggos we keep in the freezer for the weekday mornings).

Then after a morning of cleaning and relaxing... we decided to do the cake and present before our afternoon of activities.

So here's Alex with the coveted "Happy Birthday" plate.



We chowed down on Macaroni and Cheese (w/ hot dogs) for lunch.



Then came the "Costco" chocolate cake... one of Alex's favorites!



Alex wanted ice cream to go with it... and trust me, the cake is so rich that you NEED it!



Now it's time for the gift...



WHAC-A-MOLE TOWER!!!!!!



Alex actually wanted this for Christmas, but we thought it better to wait for his birthday.

Now for the rest of the activities... we plan on going to SeaWorld sometime this afternoon and then go to Rudy's for dinner.

That's the plan... but it's already 3:00 PM, so we'll see what happens.

But for right now... the kids are having fun with the new toy.

And mom and dad are reaching for the Advil due to excessive whacking!

Maybe we should have gotten him something else.

* Mom had a "Scrapbook Hangover" this morning.

Oh what memories of the day he was born and we were packing up to leave TX. Can it really be four years already? And here we are packing up again to leave PHX. Crazy! Cute pics, I especially like the outfit worn in the last picture! And oh how we miss Rudy's! Enjoy!

Happy birthday! I can't believe he's 4 already. Man, I feel like I hardly know him or Andee. We need a good family reunion just to get to know each other again!
