Alex's birthday party

Last year, we had 20-ish out of control 8 years olds running around our basement, screaming at the top of their lungs for 2 hours. This year, we decided to go a different route. The problem with December birthdays in Utah -- you cannot do outdoor stuff.

Last night, we bought 6 tickets to the Orlando Magic at Utah Jazz game Dec 13th. Andrew wanted to come before we bought the tickets. So Mark and my dad would take Andrew, Alex, and 2 friends -- full minivan.... Right after I clicked send (like 2 minutes later) Andrew decided he didn't want to go. So Alex gets to bring 3 friends.

We made the invitations and will distribute them this afternoon -- plenty of time to make sure the calendar is open.

On our way to school, Alex sat in the front seat. "Oh, I see, we (the boys) can't sit in the front seat and we only have 6 seats in the minivan. So I can't have Corbin come too. But if one of the other boys can't come, then we have enough time to invite Corbin!" He finally got it, all on his own.
