This weekend Alexa and I are taking it easy. Last weekend we were very lucky that my whole family was able to come for Alexa's baptism and birthday party. We had a great weekend and Alexa misses having everybody here. Mom isn't nearly as much fun! And nobody can get her to sleep like Grandpa!

This was her first present of the weekend. She and her cousins had breakfast outside on the deck on Sunday morning before church.And here is Alexa's family!
I had been worried about how the baptism would go - you never know what she might say! - but she was very good. When the minister introduced her to the congregation she even said "hi" and waved! And she was very good during the service - she even stayed quiet during the sermon - thanks to Aunt Deb's chapsick and her cousins.

After church we came home and started the party. We had wonderful food and Alexa had a great time openning her presents.

Then it was time for the pinata. Alexa loved it. She was smiling and laughing so hard as she tried to swing at it. All the cousins took turns and eventually Andrew knocked it apart.

Then it was time for the cake. With a little help she got the candles blown out.

And then she got to eat her cake!

We all had a wonderful day.
