Happy 13th Birthday Alex!

Alex's 13th birthday was November 11. It's hard to believe that he is officially a teenager now. We are very grateful for the good boy that he is and the adventure he adds to our family! I'm a little slow at getting these posted due to our move, but here it is!
Alex surrounded by gifts. He looks pretty happy!

Yes, he's a little odd, but they still love him (at least sometimes :))

Alex's dinner of choice: pancakes! I know what you are thinking...what's up with the table. It was only a couple of days after we moved in and we didn't have a table yet, so Jesikah suggested we use this one--and it worked ok. We all kneeled around the table.

Jesikah's gift: Axe shampoo and body spray with a trial size for emergencies :)

Alex trying out the Axe...Jesikah proud that she picked something he likes! :)

Hmmm...what could this be?

Wow--an air-soft gun!

Whose gift is it anyway?

You're kidding...15,000 pellets (I don't have to tell you who did the shopping)!

Look at all those air soft pellets!

A full set of fatigues that even fit!

Hat and All!

Demonstrating the "crouch"!
Alex's choice of cake was the DQ cookie dough blizzard cake. Eric is doing the honors of cutting the cake.

Looks like Alex had a great birthday even amid all the chaos of the move in! Happy Birthday, Alex--it looks like you've been very spoiled by you family!

Happy Belated Birthday to Alex..so Rozanne, how does it feel to be a mom to a teenager? It's not too bad...just have to put up with a lot of moodiness (ahem, Corey). Looks like he's all ready to go and shoot those fake deer you're bound to put around your yard (he he) now that you're a real Southener.
