Alexander’s 3rd Birthday! (July 19, 2015)
Alexander celebrated his third birthday on Sunday, July 19. This was the first time his party guests have been comprised primarily of same-age friends. In case it is not obvious from the photos, the theme was “fire truck.” Mommy was determined to attend the party despite “the baby brother’s” impending due date, and actually succeeded in doing this (barely). But, due to the circumstances, the party could not have gone on without extensive assistance from many family members!
