Alex's birthday was a pretty big one! Not only did he get to have a birthday party with his friends, but he also got to get baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints the next month!

For his party, we went ice skating at The Peaks arena in Provo with a few of his closest friends! I was very impressed that it didn't take any of the kids very long to get the hang of things and start zooming around the rink and skate like champs!

Sidney and I chose to sit it out and keep an eye out for everyone! She especially enjoyed the stairs for some reason!
We had cupcakes and presents at the skating rink, and after a few hours, everyone was done getting cold and bruised from the ice!

A few weeks later, we had Alex's baptism. It just worked out that two of his friends have birthdays about the same time as his, and were baptized on the same day!

Both sets of Grandparents came and spent time with Alex on his special day!

At the end of the night, while we were all done eating, we sat around and talked. Sidney and her cousin Avery were entertaining us with some dancing!
