Alex requested that Macey make his birthday cake. I'm not sure it tasted all that great, but he was very happy with it. And she was very happy to make it!
Alex got to have a sleepover for his birthday. Our family doesn't (generally) do sleepovers, so this was a BIG deal. Both siblings got their own sleepover out of the deal. I hope we are set with that for another year or two!
On Friday night we had 7 extra boys come over. We actually had snow and not ice on this day. And since everywhere we were planning to go closed early, we had the boys bring snow gear. They went to the park and played soccer in the snow and other various activities.
8 (12) year olds can be a lot for one little house.
And, watching a movie with this group is impossible!
They did finally go to sleep at 12:15. A bigger house with the boys on the other side would have equaled a later bedtime, but they were too close for comfort for me to be crazy all night!
Saturday was Alex's actual bday. First picture being 12.
Matt's bday was the week before. I joked this was his 4th picture being 12!
More fun in the snow with sleds.
Or just rolling down the hill.
Being 12 means being ordained to a deacon. Grandpa came into to town for this special event. The Bishop is on the far right and the scoutmaster (he is also our home teacher) on the far left.
Goofing around on a Sunday afternoon.
Monday night we went to Raisin' Canes for dinner. Dad, grandpa and Alex went to a trumpet performance downtown after this meal. A fun weekend for our oldest boy!
