Happy Birthday, AJ!

Thursday was AJ's birthday, but we saved the big party for the weekend when Amy's mom and dad could be here to help celebrate.  Here are some pictures from the big shindig:

 AJ wanted an Iron Man cake, so this is what Matt came up with.

 Blowing out the candles

 Chloe loved blowing up the balloons (a great sensory activity!)

 An Iron Man cartoon!

 Grandma & Grandpa Kinnell gave a new X-Men Leapster game.

AJ loves birthdays

 Very excited about the Star Wars Legos from Aunt Buffy

 An X-Wing fighter!

 What could be in such a big box?

 A junior archery set!
(AJ has always loved bows and arrows, usually making his own out of sticks.)
