Alex's 2nd Birthday Party

Yesterday we held Alex's 2nd birthday party at Romp N Roll. He shared his party with Preston, his cousin born eight days before him, and Camden, his cousin born eleven days after him. What a blast! See pictures and video below.

We waited until it was almost time to leave for the party before explaining to him that he was going to his birthday party. We told him all the people who would be there, what we do, how much fun it was going to be, but all he wanted to know was, "Birthday cake?" My boy loves some birthday cake! (For some reason he's been randomly asking for birthday cake for the last couple of weeks, so he was especially excited for his request to actually be fulfilled yesterday.)

Romp N Roll is located in a strip mall (big surprise) and when we pulled in, poor Alex was confused and started screaming, "No shopping! No shopping! Birthday party!"

He had a blast and Claire was a dream, mostly just hanging out with me in the Ergo carrier.

Minor mishap with the cake - it stuck to the pan!

But it turned out well enough. Just had to send Dave to the store for another container of icing so I had enough to cover the cake after doing a repair job.
Alex was a bit slow to warm up to Rompy.
