Alex's Sweet 16 Birthday

We celebrated Alex's 16th birthday on June 10 and traditionally a birthday boy/girl gets breakfast in bed but because Rod was traveling that morning and we had a house full of relatives, Alex chose IHOP instead.



Birthday Sundae for the birthday boy. Happy 16th Alex!

Sunday came along and it was time to ordain Alex as a priest (16-18 year old boys).
