Jackson's Birthday Parties


Since we will be in California on the day of Jackson's 8th birthday, we had his birthday party today at Main Event. Jackson invited 7 of his friends to play Laser Tag and they all had a fantastic time!

A friend of a friend made his amazing cake. It could not have been any more perfect for him. Legos, Star Wars, and cake? Nothing better! (The sand is crushed up Nilla Wafers...how cool is that?)


We celebrated as a family last night. Jackson chose Fuddrucker's for dinner, and then we came home for cake. Though its coolness quotient can't compete with the Star Wars cake, it was still pretty tasty...even if the purple color did make the cake itself look like dryer lint (we have a tradition of dying cake batter different colors in our family, but yesterday's purple ended up looking more gray once it was cooked--Anthony said I achieved a new pinnacle in cake coloring).


We decorated for the occasion!


The boys enjoyed the blowers and party hats.


Jacks hid from our terrible singing, so Daddy put the cake on his head.


But he re-emerged to blow out his candles and make a wish!


He got about a zillion Legos as gifts, and he declared today his favorite best day ever!

Happy Birthday Jacks! How did you get so big so fast?? We love you!
