Alex's Birthday

Alex is old! At least he thinks he is. He seems pretty much the same to me.

We had the great fun of celebrating Alex's birthday last week while my Mom and Dad were in town. His birthday was on a Sunday, so we couldn't exactly make a whole day of it, but we did make a whole dinner of it.


Alex chose, for his meal of the day, pork loin, rolls, mashed potatoes, tasty cheeses (Pyrenees Basque Sheep, Moulis Breisis, Uniekaas Reserve, and Delice De Bourgogne), and other various tidbits.

The kids had a great time "wrapping" the gifts with their own homemade wrapping paper. They had an equally delightful time when Alex tried to guess what was inside. "An old shoe" was their favorite hypothesis, but Alex was pretty pleased when it turned out to be something more fun and/or needed.






Happy Birthday Alex!
