Happy Birthday Jackson

It is hard to believe our little man is one years old!! He is getting to be such a big boy.
His Big Day was on Sunday. We had a good celebration and here's a recap:


Jackson woke up to a decorated house and a stack of presents. He was really excited about the balloons hanging from the chairs and when he was eating breakfast he kept looking at the streamers and the balloon hanging from the light.
Because it was Sunday, we decided to do the celebration after church and after a long nap. So in the evening we got to open presents. He was excited to open the first package and rip open the pretty paper. Once he opened his first toy though, he was too distracted with it to really open the rest. He got some way fun toys and books, and some cute birthday clothes from Grandma and Grandpa Blake. Here he is playing with his new toys and trying on some of his baggy clothes. (They'll fit him in a few months)Next was the birthday cake. Jackson got his own Jack-Man cake (on the left) and I also made one for us so that we could eat some (on the right).He started out just smearing the frosting around and gradually tasting it. Soon he had fists full of cake and by the end he looked "sugar drunk!" We also got a video of it, but that will have to be posted later (our Internet is being really silly and super SLOW). It was a fun day and thanks everyone for you presents and all of your phone calls to our little guy!
