Alexander's Birthday

On August 4th Alexander turned two years old.  We invited Valera's family to help celebrate.  Since you can't buy icing sugar here, it is easier and not expensive to buy a cake.  The cake we bought had oranges and grapes on the top.  As soon as the candles were lit, Alexander blew them out.  He knew just what he was supposed to do.  We lit them again so he could blow them a second time and he wanted to just keep blowing the candles.

Here Zarina and Alexander are playing with some blocks that Olga, Valera's sister, gave Alexander for his birthday.  He also received a book with simple pictures and words in Russian.  He is always bringing it to Mommy to read to him.  Happy birthday Alexander!
