Jackson's Actual Birthday

We had such a fun day on Jackson's actual birthday. His party was the next day so we had a low-key day on his "real" birthday.

We started the day going to get Jackson up from bed...(his room is the door with streamers obviously :)
and then we saw the happy and surprised birthday boy!

I put balloons all over his room and he was so excited to see them. He loves balloons.

We of course had to have a special breakfast. He LOVES donuts so I went out and got him donuts for breakfast.

As I was driving I heard on the radio about bad traffic nearby because they were slowing down to watch hot air balloons! I guess there was a big festival or something. So right after breakfast we decided to hop in the car and find them. After 45 minutes of driving we came home b/c we could not find any! :( Oh well, at least we tried!

Right when we got home, Grandma B stopped by to bring Jackson a present and a Mickey balloon (he was having a Mickey party).

He loved his Mickey card!

and the balloon!

Here's the present. A really awesome water toy that you can pump water, make dams, etc... Both boys LOVE it.

Then before nap we made sugar cookies. We had Mickey cookie cutters so of course we had to make Mickey cookies! It was nice and messy!

After nap Ryan came home and we took the boys to a jump house. I don't think Jackson had been to one of those places before-he had been on our little bounce house at home but it's way different obviously at those places. He LOVED every minute of it. I didn't bring a camera though so I could run around after him! We had a wonderful time celebrating his special day!
