Although we have had a small birthday party for Jackson each year with his grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, he's never had a party where he invited friends. Five is a big birthday, so we decided that this would be the year to have a "real" party! He's looking foward to his big party on Saturday, but we still wanted to make today a special day. I hung up a Batman "Happy Birthday" banner in the kitchen. He informed me this morning that he was not that surprised about the banner because he saw it in the middle of the night when he was on his way to our room because he was scared. He may be entering "big boy-dom", but he's packing a few "little boy-dom" things with him, including his blankie. =) We had a popcorn party at his class during snack-time to celebrate with all his school friends. Then after supper tonight, we all went for ice cream. YUM!
After ice cream, it was time to open his present from mommy and daddy. Oh, let's be real...it was mostly from daddy. He loved it! Although Jackson practically had to pry it out of Jason's hands to get in a little play time before bed.
He went to bed a happy camper...with his blankie. Still not quite ready to give that up! Happy Birthday, my sweet boy!
Happy Birthday Jackson!! It's hard to believe you turned 5 already. xoxo
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Jackson! Glad you had such a great day. Carter will be drooling when he sees your gift. He's been begging, pleading, bargaining, wishing, and hoping for one for a long time :)
