Whew. May is finally over. What a whirlwind of activity the month of May holds for us each year. We had Xavier’s third birthday party on Sunday, which means we unveiled a new amazing cake from Megan. Somehow she keeps outdoing herself each year, so I can’t wait to see what she does next year. Xavier insisted on a lion cake for his party this year (the kids are big fans of Madagascar), and Megan delivered.
Xavier also lucked out in the present department since we had a nice big turnout for his party and everyone got him great presents. We got a bunch of great pictures from the party that are up in the gallery. Unfortunatley, Site 5 recently moved my hosting to a new server, and for some reason the Flash photo albums got broken in the process. I’m still deciding what to do about it at this point, but for now you’ll have to view the photos here in the Gallery software.
I’ve enabled the view slideshow plugin for Gallery, so you can start it by click this little icon in the top left of an album view.

Our little Ali-gator will be two tomorrow morning, so to celebrate, we threw her a huge party tonight, complete with friends, pizza, presents, and a one-of-a-kind, custom-made KNUFFLE BUNNY CAKE!!!!
Now, for those of you who don’t know what Knuffle Bunny is, let me explain. Knuffle Bunny and Knuffle Bunny, Too are Ali’s favorite books. She literally makes us read them to her every single night. The premise is that the main character (a little girl named Trixie) has a bunny (named Knuffle). Knuffle goes everywhere with Trixie, much like Wrigley accompanies Ali everywhere she goes. The stories are super cute and fun to read. You can pick them up at Barnes and Noble-the author is Mo Willems.
Anyway, Knuffle Bunny turned out pretty well. (I won’t begin to describe the painstaking amount of time and effort I put into this cake. It seriously made me sad to have cut into him!!!) Ali recognized her Knuffle Bunny right away, and was soooo excited. We’ll post more pictures soon, but for now, this is what you get.
Update: Photo album is up right here.
Knuffle.

Wow, what a weekend we had. It was ridiculously busy, but over all it was a lot of fun and we got some awesome pictures out of it.
To start things off, my parent’s and sister flew in on Thursday afternoon to visit and help us with the kids during the Tabije-Walters wedding. So we visited with them Thursday night and Friday morning. Then, Friday evening kicked off the wedding events with the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Grandma, Pappy G (that’s what he insisted on being called, I swear), and Aunt Gracie watched the kids during the rehearsal dinner, so it was nice to get to go out and hang out with friends for the evening.
Saturday was the big day for Mark and Stephanie, and Megan, Xavier and myself were all in the bridal party. Xavier was adorable in his little tuxedo, although he was too shy to walk down the isle. Megan had to walk back down and carry him. Oh well though, everyone thought it was adorable. After the wedding the kids went home to bed with Grandma and Grandpa again, and Meg and I got to have another evening of fun.
Finally on Sunday we celebrated an early joint birthday party for Xavier and Ali. Since my parents were already down they wanted to give the kids their birthday presents and see them open them and stuff. It was a blast. Xavier got six little squirt guns that we all had a big water fight with. Mom got some awesome pictures from it. Unfortunately she’s only in like 1 picture though! I guess that’s the price you pay for being the photo lady 
.
All in all, quite the kick off to our crazy hectic month of May. This weekend we’ve got Ali’s birthday party, then a week off, then a friend from work has a birthday barbecue, then another week off, then Xavier’s birthday party. Somewhere in between there I think our subdivision is supposed to have a block party as well. Craziness!
Anyway, pictures from it all are right here.
