Thursday was Jackson's 4th birthday. He was very excited about his birthday but turned shy on the day of around other people. We let him open a few presents that morning before school.
He and Rachel both love this Sully mask.
Rachel, Michael and myself all went to his school in the afternoon and brought cupcakes to celebrate with his class. Jackson was so shy with us there. Rachel enjoyed dancing with the kids - even if Jackson wouldn't!
After school, we let him open a couple other gifts as well as his new bike! He was pretty excited about that!
Everyone loves Olaf! So cute!
He got to pick where we went for dinner that night and luckily it wasn't McDonalds this time! He chose Mexican - so he could wear the hat! He waited on that part the whole time we were there.
Saturday afternoon was his birthday party. This is the first year we've invited any of his friends to come. He was so excited! We had an outside water party at our house. We set up sprinklers, had water guns, added a water feature to their roller coaster, and put the slide in the baby pool we have. We also tried to do water balloons - and the kids loved them - except for they kept popping before we could use them. So that part was a bit of a disappointment, but overall, it went really well. We had great weather and all the kids seemed to enjoy themselves!
Waiting on his party to start!
I made his cake again this year. It was the first time I've attempted rolled fondant. It wasn't perfect, but I think it turned out pretty good.
Two balloons got away... Jackson wasn't pleased with this.

Rachel and the girls. The one on the left has always loved Rachel...
Popsicle time!
Rachel helped us fill up the water balloons for the kids.

Cousins!
That evening, he got to open a few more presents... He's all about Spider Man and other superheroes these days...
And of course he still loves the Minions. I just love the big ones!!
And here he is the next morning in his new costume. He couldn't wait to get everything opened so he could start playing with it all.
That's it... He had a great birthday. We were exhausted - but it was worth it. Can't believe how fast time is going, they are both getting so big!
School starts next week. Our summer is about over...
