Today was Alexis' birthday party. We had it at the kids area of the Riverway Pool (a free, public pool in Townsville). So, first on the agenda was swimming of course!
Next, it was cupcake time. Alexis loves bananas, so I made her banana cupcakes with a pineapple glaze and some fresh fruit on top. They turned out great. Eating one was like having a tropical party in your mouth! Her cupcake was extra big and had some blueberries on top (another of her favourites), and of course her #1 candle.
Singing "Happy Birthday" to Alexis:
When it came to eating her cupcake, Alexis was a little tentative at first; very typical behaviour when you give her something she's never eaten before. But she got the hang of it. She's such a dainty eater that she didn't really end up making that big of a mess.

The last activity was opening presents. Alexis loved taking all of the paper off. She got a lot of different bath toys, which was perfect, because she loves to take baths.
It was fun to have a "summer" birthday. I thought we better take advantage of living in the southern hemisphere. As soon as we move back to the U.S. Alexis will have a fall birthday that is super close to Halloween. Alexis loves swimming so much, so we're glad that we could celebrate with a pool party.
