A Busy Weekend!

So this weekend held two major events for the Alexander Family! Elena Rae had her 2nd Bday party and Alexa Lee had her Baptism. What a handful.

It all started on Saturday - the Birthday Party! Elena invited all of her cousins and friends to hang out at Grandma and Pops for fun in the sun . . . swimmiing, water balloons, and a slip and slide . . . and A LOT of kids running around!

And her beautiful Nemo and Dori cake truned out perfectly. It even came with little sqeeze toys on top that she played with in the bath tub.


Gifts consisted of several new outfits . . . and a 2 year old girl's best friends: a tea set and a play kitchen of her very own!



And then on to Sunday! Alexa's Day!

We get to church and she almost leaked out of her diaper onto her white gown - it was a close one. So Marci quickly changes her, comes back to sit down for mass, and she lets a big one rip . . . AND SMILES!!! I love how babies think that it's funny to pass gas and poop. It makes me laugh! We made it through mass, and on to the Baptism.
Alexa is just such a happy baby. She slept through the beginning of the ceremony and didn't cry at all when Father Don poured the holy water over her little head.

Then she proceeded to enjoy the wonders of passing gas while the priest blessed her - and, again, smiled really big after each bubble was released.

WHAT A HAPPY BABY!!!

Needless to say, we had a lot of fun and got to have a lot of family time! It was a GREAT WEEKEND!!!
