Jackson's Birthday Party

This post is obviously very much overdue and the pictures aren't exactly in order but hey. . .at least I'm getting to it. First of all a big thanks to Nana and Papa for letting us have the party at their house, especially considering that Papa was having a knee replacement two days later! And now, here are the many pictures of Jax's 3rd birthday party:

The crowd munching on cake. We did our usual regular cake for everyone at the party other than Jackson and the Hirst kiddos. They still enjoy the delicious sugar free apple sauce cake:)


We repeated the Chick Fil A nugget trays that were so popular last year.
I love this shot of Jackson enjoying his cake. Also a big thanks to Adrienne for making the cake!
This is Jackson after being told that two pieces of cake was his limit. He was trying to negotiate.
Gus, one of Jackson's school mates with his father and brother.
Charlie and Damian.
Owen and Dacia.
We didn't get any shots of the 4 of us together but thankfully Nana got this one of the 3 of us:)
Papa and Gaga escaping the heat.
Nana handing out balloons to all of the kiddos.

Myles and Monte.
Gaga with Alissia (who is expecting a little girl:)
Amy, Nicholas and Jake.
Gaga and baby Bear.

Jackson playing with one of his favorite people, Dr. Grant.
Happy Cooper after eating some cake.
Reagan, who asked to pose for a picture. Love that girl!
Fun in the pool.
My boys before the party started.
Jackson playing with Bart (another of his favorite people!) while the Jackson slide show is going on in the background.

Emma.

Jack's bff Ellie getting sun safe!
Brian loving the pirate booty.
Nana taking a break from all of the craziness.
Adrienne and precious little man Charlie.
Bill loved the nuggets and getting to visit with everyone.
Jessica, Rileigh and Amy.

Damian (one of the most fun dads ever) playing with Jax and Ellie.
Little Bryn.
Owen getting ready for cake.
Lunch time!
Getting ready to blow out the candles.
I have no idea why I took this picture upside down. . .but here's the cake!
After the party was over and everyone had left we got a knock at the door from the UPS guy. Aunt Mandy had shipped Jackson a huge box of art supplies. Here's his face when I told him the big box was for him and who it was from.
She went above and beyond sending him TONS of art stuff. He LOVES arts and crafts and we didn't have much until then. Now he has everything!
One of the greatest parts is that she organized all of it into two tackle boxes labeled "Jackson's Tacklin' Art Supplies." Super cute and so helpful!
What a fun way to end such a fun party. Thanks to all of you who made Jackson's 3rd birthday party so special!!

Looks like so much fun!! Wish we could have stayed longer than 15 seconds but when a little guy hasn't slept, it's not pretty for anyone! So we thought we'd do everyone a favor, get out of dodge, and not ruin Jackson's party--HA HA!!!:) Looks like it was a BLAST!! Happy 3rd, Jackson!!!:)
