My parents made it up for the afternoon, so Xander was happy about that. We went to pick him up from school around 3pm. They did the little walk around the sun that they do birthdays there for him. After that we loaded up and headed for the Dulles Sport Plex. Xander had a soccer party this year. They kids had a great time playing on the soccer field. John, the athletic coordinator, did a great job with the kids. They all had a great time doing various drills and then playing a little scrimmage game. Xander’s team (which he dubbed “Lightning”) defeated the “All Stars” 7 to 4. They had a great time. That went on for about an hour and then we moved up to a party room for pizza and cake. After that it was out to the video games to play those for a little while before packing up and leaving. It looks like all the kids had a great time, and I know Xander did. He says it was his best party ever!
After that we came home and let him open up his presents. He says he had a wonderful day, which is all I can really ask for.
