Here are some pictures from Alex's birthday weekend (5/20-5/22). She turned 7 years old.
Friday night, we went to see the African art exhibit. Alex has a poster of this hunter's shirt in her bedroom so it was very cool to see it in person.
and here are a few shots (I had to sneak them/no flash) of the Ancient Ife exhibit.
These lovely ancient masks, formed with amazing craftsmanship in both metal & clay.
On Saturday (Her birthday), she chose to clothes shopping, playground and out to dinner.
On Sunday, we had a small family gathering to formally wish Alex happy birthday.
Alex's requested nature themed cake.
The little cousins came over to play/party in the backyard...
and I believe the favorite presents of the day were her new roller skates, Thanks Uncle!
and these binoculars & bird book & journal for outdoor explorations.
everyone had a great time celebrating and spending the day together....
I got roller skates at her age too and they never left my feet!

LOL I'm still sitting here giggling that you took pictures in the museum with no flash and they came out great!
I think it's endearing that A would chose clothes shopping...so sweet.
Her cake is beautiful and looks like she had fun with her cousins. Question are those boys triplets or just coincidence that they all wore the same color shirt?
Can't wait to see pics of her roller skating...
