We haven't been in this area for very long, but I wanted Xander to have a party and meet new friends. I decided to invite parents and kids from our ward to the park for a little birthday bash. They had cupcakes and drinks and played their little hearts out! It was so much fun and Xander LOVED it! Xander gave all of his new friends bubbles and they had a blast blowing bubbles and running around in the sun playing games.
We came home and celebrated with the family. Kennedy was so excited to help her brother open all of his presents. Xander loved all of the attention and especially liked his big boy bike! He spent the rest of the night trying it out in our drive way.
On Sunday we made his "baseball" cake which he requested and sang Happy Birthday once more. I managed to burn the cake, but Derek decorated it for Xander and I was so impressed. Xander loved his baseball cake and so we all were happy!
Birthday celebrations are officially over, and I get 6 months to recuperate until Kennedy's. :) Here are more pics.

You're so smart to help him make new friends this way!! Great job on the cake Derek! Loved the pics. When he is 30 you will see these pics and remember all the fun. Without the pics those moments might not be remembered! What a fun family you have! Love you, Auntie Vicki
It looks like it all turned out great. You are such a good mom and Derek did a fab job on the cake. He is such a handsome little guy.
Okay, so it sounds like I was saying Derek is a handsome little guy. You knew I was talking about Xander though, right? Derek is handsome too.
Obviously still sleep deprived in this neck of the woods.
Kristi-What a fun time you had at your party for Xander and it looked like the kids were having a blast! I can't believe how much Kennedy looks like you and Xan-Man looks like Derek! Ali is her own little person and therefore you should give her to me!!!!! You are such a great friend and I am sure people will love to be around you as much as I do! We all miss your bunz out here. Every young married that Aspen meets she says "I really like her, but not as much as Kristi!" So, you do have a fan club out here in idaho! Austin has a cutie, too! It looks like She is a keeper, so now you have an ally in out-laws and you can talk about your mother-in-law!
We love your hubby, too. Tara-he is a handsome little guy! Let us know if you can come out in July, we'll come and get you all! Love Ya! Lava You! Mamma Mia
What cute photos! What kind of camera do you have? I love how it picks up the greens and red so well. The birthday party looked like a success. Three is such a fun birthday.
