Alex's 4th Birthday

We were able to celebrate Alex's 4th birthday on his actual birth date - August 13th. We did a pirate themed party and it turned out to be a great time! We are always happy to celebrate with family and friends. Those who know Alex well, knows that he is into "dressing up" and is obsessed with wearing "long clothes". This drives me insane since it is 100 degrees outside, but he is really into it and I have decided it is not worth arguing over. If he is hot - it is his problem... It wasn't 100 degrees on his birthday, but hot enough. He wore a sear-sucker suit jacket, long-sleeved button down dress shirt, tie, dark denim jeans and dress socks to his party. Later he did a wardrobe change tossed aside the sear-sucker jacket and pulled out old faithful - his red Old Navy sweat jacket. Finally he went out with a bang and changed into a pirate costume that he had received as a gift from the Pusateri's and did not take it off the rest of the weekend. He typically changes clothes at least 4 times a day. Did I mention this drives me insane? Gotta love him though - he is too cute :)

Thanks to everyone who came and made the day special for Alex! OK - get ready for picture overload...
