The birthday party crackers.

Lexi and Hannah -- the gypsies.

Alex and Papa playing Alex's new pool game!

Ryan is sitting on Daddy's new food processor and Sean is trying to figure out how to ALSO sit up there.

Mark even had a birthday! Ryan knows how to open presents and Daddy gave him the job. Although as soon as one was ripped one, he immediately wanted to go onto the next one.

Papa had a birthday too. Happy Birthday, Papa.

Its his own Star Wars Legos Xbox game. What a lucky kid!

And he was right! He then said, "These are my most favorite shoes ever! How did Grandma and Papa know what size and that I wanted them?" I said, "They're your grandparents the know what you like and how big you are." Andy couldn't believe somebody but wheels into shoes.

He got excited seeing the box. He's hoping there are Heelies (shoes with wheels in the heels) in there.

He's really happy about his new christmas book (can you tell?).

Alex got a super cute new hoodie and key chain featuring CARS!

Andy was so patient and good through all these gifts for Alex! And then he looked at me like this!

Its just what he wanted! "How did you guys know I wanted this?" Its a Rescue Heroes space adventure toy. Gee, whiz, how do they know? :-)

There's that cut little baby (Sir Ry).

Ryan having his FIRST and ONLY cupcake. Sean was to have one more though, I decided not to photograph my lapse in parental judgement.

Alex opening up his gift from us -- Zathura. The kids went nuts! "You go into space, when you play that!" Alex says, "But not in REAL life. In real life, you just stay here!."

Alex opening gifts!

Sean working on his SECOND cupcake (now upstairs).
