Jackson's 3rd Birthday

The night before Jackson's birthday we were making plans and talking about what he wanted to do the next day. All he wanted was to make banana waffles from scratch and to have Ellie spend the night. He told me about the Ellie part as I was putting him to bed so it was too late but I did arrange for her to come have breakfast with us and play the next day.

Here they are cracking up and eating breakfast together.

Ellie is so stinkin' cute and this tutu is just precious on her. She makes me want a little girl!

After breakfast we made a birthday cake together. Ellie and Jackson did most of the work and it was so fun to watch them. I changed Ellie into an old outfit of Mia's so we didn't ruin her princess skirt.

Lots of concentration!

They really did a great job and didn't make too much of a mess.

Ellie and Jack, BFF's:) The hysterical part of this picture is when Jackson put his arm around Ellie he said, "mom, I'm gonna marry this girl!" Jackson has been obsessed with weddings lately and has wanted to watch ours on DVD constantly. Right now his eyes are set on Ellie. . .she's not so sure!

I love this picture b/c it totally illustrates how amazed Baron is by Jackson. He adores his older brother so much and just loves to look at and watch him. So sweet.

My boys.

Jack wearing his super awesome police man costume from Ellie.

Little Charlie loving watching the big kids play.

Jack and Ellie doing their favorite thing ever, jumping off of the coffee table onto the sofa cushions. Jack's wearing his other super cool costume from Ellie.

The sweet babies of the group.

All 4 kiddos. . .hard to imagine that just a little over 3 years ago the 4 parents were all in Greece and none of these kids had been born yet!

Jackson's favorite activity these days is dress up!

Later that night Gaga, Grandmommy and Bill came over to give Jackson his birthday presents.
He got a really cool fireman costume and a ton of fireman accessories.


This shot reminds me of B.J. Must be the dimples.

I love this because not only does it show how happy Jackson is but also how much Bill loves being around the great grandkids.

Thanks so much to everyone who made Jackson's 3rd birthday so special! I will also try to post about his party soon!
