Alex's 5th...I Mean 6th Birthday!!

We celebrated Alex's birthday this past weekend. She turned 6 last Tuesday! We gave her a few options for her birthday party this year and told her she could invite some school friends too. She decided on a bowling party. I think the party was successful (in the kid's eyes at least!). It was extremely stressful with so many young kids...but we survived and hopefully we will laugh about it some day!

Getting ready to bowl!!

First attempts at bowling for Alex, Will & Maddie...Katie bowled last year at a friend's birthday party. She would get so excited (see picture).

Alex showing off her cookie cake...when I put the candles on, I only put on 5!! Big oops. I didn't even think about her being 6 now! So, we added another candle after the fact, lit it and had her blow it out!

Opening some presents...

When it came time to pay, Matt went up with credit card in hand. Who doesn't take credit cards anymore? Evidently this bowling alley doesn't!! Here are Matt, Becki's Dad and Aunt Barb pooling some cash together to cover the bill!

All in all a good party.
