We celebrated Alex's 1st birthday a little early and had a pre-birthday party on Saturday with all his family & friends. Alex was in his glory and loved having the spotlight on him. He received so many nice gifts from everyone. He was polite when it came to his smash cake. He dove in with both hands and smeared his face but that was about it. I envisioned it to be a lot messier! All the kids played so well together. The fun really began once the sugar rush from the cake kicked in. Alex was pushing his cousin, Hailey, around on his new fire truck and they were cracking up uncontrollably. It was hilarious to watch!
