On Oct 28 Nana and Grandpa Max got here and it was full steam ahead for the next week. Auntie Meedo (Megan) and Uncle Oobie (Mark) got here the next day, followed by Aunt Stephanie, Uncle Eric and cousins Jakob and Kymberli. This was the first time for the Aunts, Uncles and cousins to meet Xander!
That Saturday we had a birthday party for Xander. We invited our friends to join us at a nearby park for some lunch and birthday cake. Our friend Trish made Xander a wonderful camo cake, Kevin manned the grill and the weather was perfect for a picnic birthday party!
The following day was Halloween, so even after a cranky, tired day, we got the kids in their costumes and out the door.
Our little Cinderella who didn't walk one step on her own, and didn't say trick-or-treat once (sigh).
Visiting their friend down the street
Enjoying some loot!
And finally, Xander's actual birthday! Since Macey had a cupcake birthday, and we celebrated Grandma Connie's birthday with cupcakes, I guess cupcakes are what makes a birthday. So, we made cupcakes to make his birthday official.
And now all we have to do is gear up for Xander's surgery on Friday...

It looks like Xander had a fun birthday! Thanks for all the photos.
It is so neat to see how quickly Macey and Xander warm up to people they've never met. They return love so easily.
We'll be praying for all of you. Soon he will be able to pronounce dada!
Love,
Grandma Connie
Ooooh I wish we didn't have to leave!!! And I'm kinda sad because I didn't get ANY pics with the kiddos. :-(
