Alex's Birthday Party

We celebrated Alex's birthday a week early since next weekend will be Easter weekend. As I posted earlier (when I was talking about Mike's broken hand), Alex decided to have his party at the roller skating rink this year.







We have a family tradition that my dad started when I was growing up where we make our own birthday cakes. This year, Alex designed his cake, I baked it, and Mike was in charge of icing it. Actually, decorating the cake is always Mike's job. Poor Mike had to decorate the cake with only one good hand this time, but he still did a great job.
