The Birthday…before THE Birthday

Last night we celebrated Jack's birthday with Grandma Nancy & Grandpa Denny…and Joe, Gina, Grandma Shirlee, & Grandpa Jerry via Skype. Jack was beside himself with excitement! Pioneer Woman provided the dinner (I wish) the recipe for dinner - Lasagna. Yum! Both of my kids ate every bite - so thumbs up to Pioneer Woman & her rockin' lasagna.

Jack insisted on having a Power Ranger birthday. Very hard for me to do. But I caved and bought some Power Ranger candles to go on his cupcakes - and he was THRILLED. 

Josie thinks Birthday Parties are amazing. She loves singing Happy Birthday - and always assumes it's for her. We let her believe it...

 Jack's goal for his 3rd year of life: to learn to blow out candles. Dear.Lord. He can't blow air out through his mouth. Finally, after a few minutes of trying - Tyson had to come through with a candle-blowing assist.

I think he liked the cupcakes! And the presents! Thanks for all of the texts, phone/Skype calls, emails, messages, etc. Jack is very loved - and Tyson & I couldn't feel more blessed to have him in our lives.

And now we prepare for Round 2 - the SUPERHERO party with Jack's buddies on Friday. Let the craziness continue...
