Birthday Number 4
March 5, 2002

The actual date is March 9th, postponed from March 2nd due to a little ice storm. It wouldn't have bothered Buzz Lightyear, here fighting a volcano?

Opening presents with help from Dad. Cousin Keri to Alex's left, then the neighbor kids, Samantha and Alandra.

Clockwise from the top: Cousin Keri and Karlson, then Chase and Zak, friends from where Dad works.

A brief, quiet moment with Alex sharing with Karlson.

The birthday boy gets the first whack at the pinata but it took Keri to get the results you see in the next pictures.

This is what 5 pounds of candy looks like scattered around the living room floor.

They're keeping an eye on each other, making sure they don't fall behind in the gathering department.
