I'll admit to you... I was dreading Xander's party tonight. Half the people weren't coming to safegaurd their children against chickenpox. Don't get me wrong... I totally understand. I wouldn't want them to come. I was just worried it wouldn't be a good event for Xander.
It was a wonderful success. Xander LOVED his cake. He got excited with every family member that showed up. He loved opening his presents and showed great appreciation for each and every one. A huge change from 2 years ago when he threw a tantrum and got overwhlemed by the attention.
We did an Indiana Jones theme. I decorated the house with lots of green crepe paper to look like jungle vines. Xander seemed to like that. He also got several Indiana Jones toys. He enjoyed his time spent with those that came and went to bed content and happy.
Thank you to those who braved the plague at our house and made this day so special for Xander. In return I will pray for your continued health.

He's adorable, Marissa! Great job!
Glad the party turned out well. Happy Birthday Xander!!
Glad Xander had so much fun. We thought about him as the clock turned 6:00. Looks like he got some fun gifts too. Again, wish we could be there but, in light of what's going on with Jacob, it was better not to risk it. We'll bring his gift over this week.
Hooray for good parties and good turnouts. You're an awesome mom :)
Fun!
He's so cute!
I am so glad we could be there. We love you all so much! Hope you are feeling better.
Looks like a fun party! Great job, Marissa. Loved the cowboy hats both boys had on.
