Party Time

For Alex's birthday, we rented out space at Coast Guard Island (it was so nice last time, we tried it again) and had a movie afternoon. We were even able to borrow a popcorn machine and a hot dog roller!

Alex chose Hotel Transylvania 2 for the movie and we set up a mini theater. The kids didn't want to move the chairs around, which was a little strange, but they seemed to enjoy the movie (and of course the theater-style snacks).
After the movie, and to get the blood pumping again, we ran outside to the big anchor for a group picture.
Back inside, it was time for Minecraft parody videos and dancing! Well, we had hoped that playing music would lead to dancing, but most of the kids sat back down to watch.
Vampire cupcakes! Red velvet on the inside of course!
 Happy birthday Alex!

The next night we celebrated Alex's birthday with his birthday dinner choice: Grandpa's chili over spaghetti and cornbread. Birthday dinner was a day early because Daddy has to be out of town on the big day.

Don't forget cupcakes for dessert! Alex opened a couple of presents today and saved the others for his true birthday.
