Jesse Alexander ...... turns 15 Born October 21st

in Jesse's own words.....
My birthday was pretty fun and I got some awesome presents. Mom and Dad gave me some new shirts that I desperately was in need of. Josh gave me a Reeses and a Three Musketeers Bar. Jack gave me a video game; although I think he just bought it for himself to have. I guess we can use it as a gift from him to me and me to him. Olivia gave me some new socks which I needed a lot. After, I had opened all the gifts except one. I opened it and guess what was in it; a shaving kit/ razor! I was in shock and I first asked my dad if this was a joke. It turns out it wasn’t. So after I had opened all my presents my mom tells me to go in the backyard because there is another present. When I get out there all I see is a brand new Ping Pong table with new paddles and balls. We ate homemade waffles and brownies afterwards. Overall it was an awesome birthday.


There is something special between these two.........their birthday's are 4 days apart. Eight year age difference. Jack sure looks up to Jess. And Jess just adores him, most of the time.

Jess ordered waffles for his birthday dinner. Our tradition is they get to pick their meal. They can choose to go out or have Mom make their favorite meal. As you can see he has simple tastes. I asked him if he would like other things to go with the waffles he replied, "just syrup". Like that was a silly question. So for the sake of his family eating with him I made it a waffle bar.
And for dessert he really just wanted chocolate melted. Not sure how I was going to present that. So, we had chocolate brownies.....the next best thing.
