Alex is 1 year old!!

Alex had his first birthday party yesterday at Grandma and Grandpa's. We had a great time and he really seemed to enjoy the day. We had a lot of family and friends come over to celebrate. Alex got so many nice and fun things, including a bottle of champagne from his Great Uncle Bob to be opened on his 21st birthday. He enjoyed playing with things after they were opened. We had a lot of finger type foods-sloppy joes, meatballs, cheese/meat, veggies, and other munchies. We went with all Pooh stuff! The cake was beautiful and very good. Alex tried his first pickle and liked it-we were expecting him to make a "yucky" face, but he just ate it like it was nothing. When it came time to eat the cake, we gave Alex a chunk of it. He just looked at it and touched it a little, but he never really just dug in. We smooshed his hands in the cake a little and he just kind of wiped the frosting all over. Needless to say, he ended up with a quick bath in the sink to clean up.
After the party died down a little, Alex went to bed and then we celebrated New Year's Eve. We all just hung out and played games until after midnight. It was a great day all around!
Happy New Year 2006!
