Birthday Extravaganza

Well, Jackson is TWO! I cannot believe it! We had a wonderful birthday week - celebrating every day - and opening plenty of gifts!

Here's the invite: (sorry the picture is a little blurry - the colors were cuter)


I made him a birthday shirt - (another blurry picture)

And I made his cake - I made the decorations our of fondant - little cars and trucks to match his invite. It turned out pretty yummy - I know why bakeries charge so much, it took a LONG time. A long, long time. But worth it!



Brownies in a dump truck :

Birthday boy!

The kids decorated sugar cookies -

Jackson went a little crazy with the sprinkles

SUGAR!!!!

Opening Presents

One of Jackson's favorite presents was from Pawpaw Kevin - just like daddy's

Cutting the cake -
Cora giving Jackson a ride around the house
Rebekah, Henry, and Cooper
Henry was LOVING Elmo

Here's our HAPPY baby (Yes, you read that right - HAPPY!)

Posing for a picture on the couch was actually fairly successful. It's not the best picture of any of them - but at least they aren't crying

Henry trying out a juice box - he mastered the straw in a matter of seconds
After the party, we got Jackson in his pjs, and off to bed! We all had a nice adult dinner - and enjoyed a little wine.
I didn't get a picture of my mom with the boys - she has a gift of avoiding the camera : ) It was a great week - and it's nice to be done with all the sickness! Both boys are well - or close to it. Wish our parents could live here. Not only was it nice to have some help - it was so much fun to have them here. It's so wonderful to watch the boys with them. They have the best grandparents. We love you!
