I'm having trouble publishing the whole album of birthday party pictures, so I'm going to post just a few here and do the party album as soon as possible. I have a call in to tech support, but he (Lane) is currently watching the Superbowl. :)
Alexee's party was fun. I love thinking about her party and planning the invitations, cake, buying flowers, etc. I guess she was too excited about the party to take a nap yesterday (not what I'd planned for), but she was in a great mood and seemed to thoroughly enjoy her big day!
Sadly, the terrible ice storm in north Arkansas prevented my parents and grandparents from coming here, so we really missed them (they have been without power for a week tomorrow). Having a birthday event this time of year (in Arkansas) will always face potential weather problems...it iced the night before Alexee was born, too! We were so happy to have Lane's family and my sister & her family and A's friend, Lindy, though. Thank you all for coming to celebrate with us.
I promise to post more photos soon, but here are just a few of the table and the birthday gal:
(I liked the Strawberry Lemonade Punch--see 1/29 post for recipe--and others seemed to like it too. Warning: it will stain white tablecloths though!)
Blue Cake Company did a red velvet cake with cream cheese icing and a fondant fairy and fondant polka dots to match the invitation. I thought it turned out cute, and it tasted great!
I also ordered vanilla cupcakes with strawberry icing:
Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Alexee........
Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday, Alexee, even if it's a little bit late. I'm sure MO and Grandad really wanted to be there.
We've spent the last 2 afternoons cutting broken and downed limbs, and just have a small dent in the cleaning process. Like your mom & dad, we still don't have power, but we have a big generator! A gorgeous, big, green hunk of machinery!
SO cute! Happy Birthday Alexee!
