Superbowl Baby

We had a family birthday party for Alex on Superbowl Sunday.  Last year, I went into labor during the game, so good thing the Patriots weren't in it!  They made it this year, however, so we combined the two parties.

When I called Lyndell's to order the cake, I specifically and deliberately said "my daughter, Alex" several times. I guess they still thought there was no way a girl could have a football on her cake.  Our Alex loves them though!  Although you know I would be complaining if they 'pinked-out" the cake.  Fussy mama.  The lion was Kate's suggestion because Alex loves her ride-on lion toy we borrowed from Josh and Missy.  We always say "bonjour, happy lion!"  The cake was delicious.

Alex and Ben.  She loves a good game of tug of war

Nana and Alex.  They are 85 years apart!

I can really get away with this?

Here, Josh, have some

Red, white and blue for the Pats.  The game did not go well.

as you can reckon from papa's face

and Josh and Bubs

It still didn't ruin our party, though

Guacamole for dinner

Happy birthday, Alex!  May the Superbowl never interfere with you having a good time on your birthday.
