Jack's birthday!

Jack's turned 3 on Sunday!  He seemed pretty excited about the decorations, presents, and cake.

I made the effort to get out my real camera when he opened presents but you can't really tell since the pictures came out so blurry.


Jack had many people celebrate his birthday.  His papa sent him some great books, and cool flipping car, and a wooden truck with wooden cars.  His Grandma brought him two very cool spiderman toys and some other spiderman and Captain America toy.  His Nana and Grandpa brought him $3 and thomas the tank toy trains.  He was a very well loved boy!


After presents we ate eggo waffles for Jack's special birthday breakfast, because that is his favorite.  Then we got ready for 9AM church.  That morning was Jack's birthday AND the primary program that I helped to run.  The primary program is the one Sunday a year where the kids get up and deliver messages and sing songs, it's a great Sunday.
My mom was able to stay through our first hour meeting at church but then she had to leave to get home to prepare for the storm.





On the way to church we sang happy birthday to Jack in the car, but he really did not like it at all.


After church, Jim's parents and our friends joined us for Sunday birthday dinner.  Since Jack doesn't eat I just made a roast and potatoes.  When he eats normal food other than candy and crackers he can pick his own birthday dinner.

After dinner we had his birthday cake.  I took my family's traditional mother's day zebra cake and turned it into the number 3.  I can't bake a cake and none of us really love cake, so I feel like this is my new birthday solution/tradition in one.

Jack was much happier about the singing in the afternoon.  Maybe because there was a cake??






Jack loved people singing to him and even sang along.  He is a sweet boy.


Jack had two of our friends over for his birthday and this is the face the older three made when I told them to smile.  I am not sure where I went wrong...
