Happy Birthday Xander

Better late than never . . . here is the birthday post I've been meaning to do for awhile.

We celebrated Xander's 7th birthday (June 23) in California by visiting the lego store at Downtown Disney.  Xander loves legos and had a hard time picking out an item at the store with his birthday money.  He finally settled on a Technic rescue helicopter.  Man do these things have a lot of pieces to keep track of!  It was a fun activity for the whole family.

 Ella loved the princess themed stores there.


 There were five large rocks on the grass--perfect for a family with five children.

These five kids sure get along well and have fun together.  We are very fortunate.

Xander decorated his own birthday cake this year.


He got to celebrate with some of his best cousin buddies, David and James, who knew exactly what Xander would love--Ninjago.



This is a picture taken later in the summer in Minnesota when Joseph and Xander went to the air show near our Minnesota home.  He had a grand time exploring all the boy toys with his dad.  We are sure grateful for this little man in our family.  He is energetic and inquisitive.  He loves science and all kinds of facts.  I am constantly learning new, interesting things each day from him.  For example, did you know that women have something like 2000 more taste buds than men?
