Today is Alexander's 5th Birthday - Happy Birthday Buddy!!! We had a birthday party for him on Saturday and i don't know if the guests had fun, i did and the important thing was, Alexander had the most fun. With this posting, i would like to thank all the guests for their presence and presents and hope you all enjoyed yourself. Thank you too to all your food contributions which made the party a success. This year's theme, Alexander chose 'The Star Wars' and i made him this R2D2 cake - he sure was grinning happily at his cake - look at that smile, it melted my heart.
