Jackson's Birthday Party


Yes this is how we are smiling now....taken on the morning of his party!


On December 5th we had a family birthday party for Jackson. We are so lucky that almost all of our extended family lives within an hour of us. Our house was filled with our family (46 people to be exact) and even a few of our friends who have kiddos Jackson's age came too! We had a sit down brunch and plenty of Mimosa's and Baileys! Jackson was one spoiled little guy...pretty sure his growing collection of Thomas the Trains &Gymboree clothes could be one of the most expensive things in our house..ha ha! I loved celebrating his birthday a little earlier in the month and he is enjoying playing with all his new toys a few weeks before Christmas. Our park has been more like a swamp lately and he loves to play outside, these new toys have been great! The winter rainy months feel so different when you have a active toddler! I am so THANKFUL for our mild sunny days, like today 60 and sunny, he got to burn off a bunch of energy. Here are some pictures from his party...and tomorrow he turns 2!


Nic brings these huge building plans home from work for Jackson to color on. We used them to cover tables, creating lots of coloring space for kids and adults. Before the party Jackson went around and colored on a few places, he loved it!

These two are so silly together. Jackson just adores Lexie and she is so sweet to him.

He is going to be a pro at opening gifts at Christmas!


Happy Birthday Jackson!
Guess I should have used more concealer...you can tell I've had no sleep leading up to this party!
