Joint Family Birthday Party for Alex and Nathan

Being born only 12 days (and 2 years) apart, Nathan and Alex will be forever subjected to a joint family birthday party.  The weather wasn't quite as stellar as yesterday, but it was still perfect for the cousins to run crazy and have fun.

We ate lots of good food, and then sang happy birthday and Alex had his first cake!  Blue frosting, everywhere.  He liked it to say the least!

Playing with the big boy cousins.
Heidi and Jason hanging with the littlest guests, Alex and Tyler.

Bubbles!

So many bubbles from his new bubble machine!

Alex seemed quite unsure about the flood of bubbles.

"No, no Alex, bubbles are good, don't be scared!" (Yes, he wore the helmet around all afternoon)

Candle! (We learned our lesson with Nathan and made sure he couldn't reach it)

Nathan had a little help from his cousin to blow out the candles.

He kind of looked like a blue cat by the end of cake.

Mmmm...

Every last crumb.

Present time!

Alex figured out opening presents pretty quickly.

The whole gang, and Nathan playing with his new lightning ball.

  1. Please excuse me for being a little jealous of those who were able to participate! But seriously, I am so happy that you all are having a good time back there in Massachusetts and sharing it with us via photos. Thank you.
