A Birthday Party for Alex and Madison

Alex and Madison have their birthdays nine days apart.  Two days before Alex's birthday is my dad's birthday, so we have several right in a row.  This past weekend, my whole family gathered for a big birthday party.  We hadn't been all together in two and a half years, so it was a really nice time for all of us. 

 Alex's favorite color is orange, and Madison loves purple=CLEMSON colors on their birthday cake!

Madison said her favorite gift was the Rapunzel figurine set from Alaina.  Alex loved his Flash costume.  Thanks to all of our family, near and far, for the great birthday gifts.  It was so thoughtful.  Our family had a great time getting together Saturday.  We found out Saturday night that Edward's sister and her husband, Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Andrew to the kids, summitted Mt. McKinley in Denali National Park, Alaska.  Well done, guys!
