Alex actually turns four on the 12th, but we celebrated it yesterday. It's amazing how much my life has changed since these wonderful little people have come into my life. Alex's birthday was Scooby Doo. His Scooby cake had Scooby surf boarding through the cake. He had one of the big moonwalks that had the slide in it.
Gus did a wonderful job on the food. The brisket would almost melt in your mouth. There were beans, potato salad, chips and salsa. The day was warm, but with a slight breeze and the big shade trees in their yard it was very enjoyable.
The highlight of the afternoon was the bear pinata. All the kids had fun swinging at it as Gus pulled the rope to move bear in and out of reach. Even little Colton took a turn. The stick was was almost twice as tall as he was, but he managed. Everyone had to move back, because he did not have much control over the stick; but he still managed to get in a couple of hits.
Crystal may have persuaded Alex to have a different birthday theme than Thomas the Train, but most of his gifts were either trains or clothes with Thomas on them. Alex is amazing in his love of Thomas the Train.
As fast as the past four years have rushed by, five is just around the corner.
