This isn't the best picture, but it was sure cute. The girls would climb out of their chairs just to give papa a hug then sit back down to eat. It's just not fair.... I take care of them all day, but he is their favorite.
Al thought his birthday was the greatest because he got to go out to eat for lunch AND dinner! (The kid would eat out for every meal if given the chance.) IHOP is one of his most favorite places to go in the world. He orders a Rooty Jr. (pancakes with berries on it) and sausage, and more sausage, and more sausage. He can really put it away. He's showing you two of the guys Daddy Ernie sent him for his birthday. He got to talk to all of Ernie's kids earlier in the day and to Ernie before we went to dinner. Just as we were heading out the door to dinner, a package came for Alex from Ernie and family... and inside were a ton of Star Wars guys. Of course, they had to come to dinner with us. (And just a funny side note, that is Grandpa Scott hiding behind the menu. He didn't want his picture taken.)
He got a lot of cool things - a remote control helicopter, a Halo guy, a Transformer, a yoyo and some church pants, but from mom and dad he got a Pass of all Passes! So after dinner we went to Trafalga for fun, fun, fun!

This first picture I took of Alex he's pretty close to the floor still, but I took it that early because last time he did a climbing wall, he only was able to make it a few feet. But this time...
...look how far he made it. (That's him on the left!)
TJ and B had to take a turn, too. They didn't do too bad for an old, married couple. ;-)
Then we went and did a laser tag game, and the black light mini golf. Here's a pic of everyone doing fish faces by the dolphins. I took some other pics, but because it was so dark they didn't turn out well enough to share.
And after all that fun and partying, he got another surprise the next day!! Grandpa Larry and Lexy came to visit!! This is Alex's birth mom's dad and Alex's half sister. You can definitely tell they are related, can't you!? She took such good care of Alex as a baby. We will never be able to repay her for all she did, even as a little kid herself. And Grandpa Larry has a definite soft spot for his little boy! We missed seeing Mommy Dana, but hopefully soon.

(And just to relieve every one's fears - Alex doesn't get to drive until he's as tall as his brothers. Remember they are 6 foot and taller!!)
