Happy Birthday Jackson!!!


Today is Jackson's 6th birthday!!! I can't believe he's 6 years old already. We had a great day with a party in the park and then dinner with Ninny and PawPaw at our house. Even though it was quite chilly outside (it was only about 40-45 during the party, but it was supposed to have been about 50), we still had a good time. We had his party at Kids' Kastle but we moved out of the pavilion (it was even colder in there) to the tables in the sun and that helped make it more tolerable. Trent and Grady were able to join us and there were two kids from Jackson's class who were with us, too -- Kyle and Savannah. Christian and Autumn couldn't make it today, but we were thinking about them and missed them. Gigi and Jack weren't able to travel here from Florida for the party, but Ninny and PawPaw and Grandma and Grandpa were there along with NaeNae, TD, Uncle Troy and Aunt Amber. Other friends had planned to be there but were unable to for various reasons, with the weather probably being part of the problem. We had cake, ice cream (you have to have ice cream with cake, even when it is only 45!), chips and dip, Chex mix, chocolate doughnuts, mixed nuts and mandarin oranges. The kids ate, played in Kids' Kastle and then Jackson opened his gifts. He got lots of clothes, some cars and trucks, a wallet, new programs for the Leap Pad, a game for his Gameboy, money, a bubble wand and lots of bubbles, fishing rod, noise putty (fart maker), a rocket launcher and a giant stuffed Alabama elephant with red and white balloons tied to it!! He really enjoyed answering the door this morning when it arrived via special delivery and knowing this his Gigi had it sent to him. We invited the family to come eat dinner with us, but some were tired or not feeling well and some had other plans, so only Ninny and PawPaw came over. We had good food, though, and enjoyed a little more time with them. Now, we're all just settling down for the evening and getting ready for bed. All in all, it was a very good day. Here's PawPaw enjoying the fart putty!
