Alexis' Birthday Weekend

Alexis was so lucky, she celebrated her birthday over the course of a fun-filled weekend.  It all started with Nana coming in town on Thursday night.

At the park with Nana:
Aunt Kelsey and Aunt Christina arrived on Friday.

Saturday morning was spent at the park:

We were trying to tire Alexis out so that she would take an early nap, since her party was scheduled during her normal nap time.  It worked!

While Alexis took her early nap, we prepped all of the food for the party:
 
On our way to the party we drove up Millcreek Canyon to look at the beautiful fall leaves:

Having fun with Daddy on the big toy:



I love this picture.  It captures perfectly just how excited Alexis was to get, not one, but two Princess Punzel dolls:


She loved her new bike too:
 

Cuddling with Princess Punzel on the way home from her birthday party:

We were able to go to church before Nana and Aunt Christina had to fly home.  Later that night we celebrated Alexis' birthday again during family dinner.
 
On our way to church:

Alexis got a hold of Nana's glasses during Sacrament meeting and wouldn't give them up!

Singing "Happy Birthday" to Alexis during family dinner:
Aunt Kelsey was able to stay until Monday.  We went exploring at This is the Place Park:

What a fun birthday weekend!
