Happy Birthday to you!

This year we decided to have Jackson's birthday party at "Chick-en-a-yay"... his favorite place. I'm so glad we did because it rained ALL DAY LONG! We had a great time.

We are so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends who came to spend a specail day with us. The kids had a fun time playing, and all of us adults had fun talking and passing around babies. This is the first time that Jackson was more excited about the presents and the birthday cake than he was about playing and eating his lunch. He's getting older. He was very lucky to have his friends and cousinns there to "help" him open his presents.

Sorry for the lack of pictures... I should have assigned someone to take pictures... I get too side-tracked.

Jackson enjoying his cupcake!

Part of our little (actually big) group. Its always big and loud when the Howards are involved.

I didn't get a picture of my cute cake... but can you kind of get an idea?! It was a tiered cupcake cake.


I was a mean mom, and requested no "Thomas" toys. They make him a little (alot) out of control. So instead, her got alot of Thomas books, Thomas stickers, a Thomas kite, and Thomas pajamas.
Once he opened his books, he sat at the table the whole rest of the time we were there so he could read his books. He could not be bothered with anything else.

Thank you everyone who came and made this a special day for my sweet boy!

My dad and Dianne decided to come up from Florida for Jackson's birthday... it was a fun surprise. They came over to our house after the party and spent the rest of the day with us.

I was able to get this adorable video of Caroline.


Isn't that hilarious?!
