Pictures From Xander's Party This Year - Izelle

 

Sir Alexander, almost 5 years old

Yesterday we had Izelle and her family over to celebrate Xander's 5th birthday. JT could not make it, so we saw him Thursday. Kylee and Dakota could not make it, so we will see them Monday. Xander had a great time with the lovely Princess Izelle.

 

Xander had something to do with at least half of the decorations :)

 

The cake - a fierce dragon approaches

 

I think the king and his knights and princess will have it well in hand

 

for making swords and wands

 

Grandpa Mike (Hobbit Esquire) and Grandma Lesley (Princess of Middle Earth) provided the fortress for Sir Alexander and Princess Izelle

 

Nick's favorite - due to the chocolate chips

 

Izelle sweetly agreed that Xander could open his gift before playing, craft, and cake (though with prompting, Xander did ask her: "What do you decide to do next, Izelle?")

 

Safe in the castle (from Nick-Monster, of course)

 

I think it took him six tries to blow out five candles...but he got the job done

 

Nick was a fan of the party - chocolate chips, cake, "ice cream" which was actually sherbet, running around the back yard, and little knight pieces left around where toddlers could claim them
