Jackson's THREE!

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday, dear Jackson, Happy Birthday to you!! Woo-hoo!! What a weekend we've had. We had a family birthday party yesterday where we celebrated Jackson's 3rd birthday and cousin James' 1st birthday. It was a great time--great food, great company, great kids and unbelievable cake!! YUM! We had a piñata, which the kids loved! And presents that Jackson (and Joshua) enjoyed opening and playing with.

Time for the piñata! The kids loved that!

This morning we opened more presents. Jackson really got into ripping off the wrapping paper! We got him a marble run building set, which AW and Jackson and Joshua really enjoyed working on together. Then we made some cupcakes and celebrated Jackson's birthday a second time. The cupcakes were chocolate with frosting and dirt and worms (crushed Oreos and gummy worms). It was super fun to make those and also fun to eat. This evening we went to a baseball game and had a great time! It was our first game of the season and the boys really had a great time. I think the highlight for the boys was the airplane and the skydivers that jumped out! Pretty exciting! We stayed until the third inning and then headed home for bedtime. It was a perfect way to end the perfect weekend! Jackson really enjoyed his birthday weekend!! We love you, Jackson, and we are so proud of the young man you are becoming.


Both boys love opening presents!! Good job helping, Joshua!
