On Saturday, April 5th, we had one busy day!
Haley had her first JO volleyball tournament, which started bright and early at 8:30 a.m.
We were at the Marshal High School, which was nice because you can never be sure how a new baby will react to new situations.
Needless to say, Xander was a hit. Everyone of Haley's friends wanted to play with him, regardless if they were warming up to play or not.
Other parents that had not seen him also wanted to see him, so Xander spent a lot of time in his favorite position - in someone's arms.
Haley's team did really well, ending pool play in fifth place overall, but couldn't finish it off in the championship bracket.
After a quick stop at home we were on the road to Lake Benton for Tracy's parents surprise birthday party.
Trudy, Dave, Sarah, Abby and Isabelle were already at Grandma and Grandpa's when we got there and instantly mobbed Xander.
After a delicious supper of Country House chicken, it was time to head to the Legion for the party.
Tracy's parents were quite surprised because they were told it was a party for another relative, who also had a milestone birthday this year, and they were even more surprised when Todd, Pam, Kaila, Luke and Briton all walked in too!
Again, Xander was the main attraction. Everyone wanted to hold him and everyone commented on how much he looked like me and how much hair he had.
It was a long day for the little guy. He was quite tired when we got back to Grandma and Grandpa's that night and slept pretty good.
I know that he loves seeing both sets of grandparents and can't wait for his next trip to Sisseton or Lake Benton.
