Dearest Jackson David,
We celebrated 5 years of YOU this past weekend! The festivities began on Friday when I picked you up early from school. We went to the airport to pick up Grandpa & Grandma who flew in from Indiana for your special weekend. We had your party at Paradise Pond this year and almost every friend you invited came to your shindig! We kind of went with a Superhero theme, so this was the hero-pose you gave me to get things started:
After playing for a while, it was time for singing, wishing, and eating!
(When we walked into the baker's house to pick up your cake, your face lit up! You loved your cake and that made it worth it, even if your brother's diapers were totally weird for the next few days...)
Chocolate cake, buttercream filling, and your 2 current favorite super heroes.
We packed that room with friends and y'all munched on pizza and grapes before devouring the cake!
The "big kids" were quick to return to the gym - but I had to snap this picture when I saw the only two left behind. Your brother and his favorite girlfriend remained side-by-side as they finished every last bite of their treats. Young love : )
There were tea parties....
and dress up...
and tons of wrestling jumping!
There were even a few tears when the carpet gave you a rug burn for your birthday. You were exceptionally unappreciative of the gift since I picked you up from school before rest time (I guess it's more imperative for you than I thought.?.)!
Before long, it was time to call it a night.
A great night - full of 5-year-old fun!
