Weekend Activities...

This weekend we headed up to Maine to celebrate Papa's 80th birthday. We had a surprise party for him with family & friends. Papa was surprised and had a great time seeing everyone! We stayed over in the same hotel which made things so much easier overall.

Alexander did a great job in the car ride, loved running around the party and in the hotel lobby/cafe areas. He even got to ride around in the luggage trolley which he thought was his own personal train. And before the party started he was so excited to help the nice lady vacuum.

At the party, he ran around with the other kids and was so excited to see cousin Sarah. He was so excited to have cake but when it was time for cake he only wanted one bite and then was over the whole cake thing.

The funniest part was that he wanted to have some coffee (he's never asked before) so we gave him a little drop thinking he'd hate it ...but nope, he loved it. Thankfully it was only a little so it didn't make him more rambunctious than he already was! After some pizza and a bit more running around, we headed up to our rooms to get ready for bed. And only one book into story time, he was done and wanted to sleep (he was asleep around 9:05)!

And regardless of a long, tiresome day Alexander was still up at the crack of dawn! We all got ready & headed down for some breakfast before it was time to head home. He did another great job in the car before we got home, had some lunch & then Daddy and Alexander took a nap together.All in all, a nice weekend.
