Jack had a birthday... Shout Hooray!

Or, run in the other direction screaming!
It's like he really understood that it was his day...
This is how it all began:
Yes. That is ice cream for breakfast. Usually the first thing out of his mouth in the morning is "Papa Work." Tuesday it was "Ice cream."

Then, for real breakfast, we had pancakes with Dan (he had a late start to his morning.) I made him a Mickey Mouse pancake and he was so excited! After we enjoyed looking at it, he put syrup on it and I cut it up with a pizza cutter. "Mickey Mouse broken. Fix it!" Awesome!
So I made him another Mickey Mouse pancake. he bit off the ears and was all done.

30 minutes later- after I cleaned up his plate he comes back to the table and is sad because his pancakes are all gone. So, I made him a piece of heart-shaped french toast.


Then we had a friend come over to play. We decorated cookies, played and they found some old sunglasses. This is both of them dancing in their boots and sunglasses. It's always a party at our house!

Jack's nap, which he fought until at least 1:30 PM, was spent putting finishing touches on his pinata and cake.
Neither of them turned out exactly how I had planned, but I was proud because I did it all by myself. This is NOT my cup of tea. :)
And then it was time for the big party! We had pizza for dinner, cake, opened presents and played all night long!

(And yes, there is the baby bump! I have 6/7 weeks to go and have no major complaints. EXCEPT Tuesday I was the most uncomfortable I have been thus far. It was miserable. Add our diva birthday boy, and my to-do list and it was not a overly pleasant day. Luckily I got everything done, plus a shower, and I was able to enjoy the evening celebration.)
Grandma & Papa were there- Jack was too entertained by his toys and the candy that busted out of the pinata.
Grandma & Bubba got Jack a swing in the basement. He loved that!
And our little family at the end of a long, wonderful day!

We also celebrated with our friends Saturday night-our 5 day apart Birthday Buddies have lots of fun together!
