Birthday Mania!!

So with Jayanne and Jackson's birthdays only being 3 days apart, we decided to just have a huge party and celebrate them together. Jayanne was ok with this as long as she was able to have her purple princess party. So we did a princess and knight themed party. It turned out to be a lot of fun and the kids had a blast. We had the huge party at my in-laws. And then we had a little party for each of them on their birthday at home.

Jayanne turned 4 this year. And I can't even believe it. She is so good to play with Jackson and always has been since he turned up. She is super smart and is starting to learn to spell some words. She loves primary, so much that she usually ends up in front dancing to all the songs. She can't wait to go to preschool again and is very excited to start dance. Her favorite color is purple and pink but mostly purple. She loves princesses and Minnie Mouse and being a ballerina. She is so much fun to be around. She is really good at getting Jackson to laugh. Most days she is a really good helper. We love having her in our family!

Jackson turned 1!! And holy cow did time fly! First off it was hard to believe that I had a 4 year old but its way hard to believe that my little man is 1. He is such a funny little guy. He loves his sister to pieces, much to her dismay sometimes. He just follows her wherever she goes. He loves to just play and read books, especially the ones that have flaps to lift. He loves to walk and he has almost figured out running. He loves to throw things. He actually has a really good arm. His favorite place to throw things are in the bathtub. He loves to look at the pictures on mommy's phone. He laughs anytime that anyone else laughs. He is such a joy to have as part of our family!!



Thanks to everyone who came to help celebrate our little one's birthdays!!

I made each of them a cake. Neither one turned out how I envisioned but oh well.

Very excited about the presents.

He has got no clue about what is going on.

Love her!

Why sit on a chair when you can stand on a chair?

He's getting it now.

A ballerina outfit!!

Happy Birthday cake!

So I was a lame mom and I just fed Jackson the cake instead of letting him at it. But he likes it!

Ready for the birthday games. Each girl got a crown and a wand and the boys got shields.

We played Kiss the Frog, like pin the tail on the donkey. And then we throw beanbags at a tower of cans that had pictures of dragons and evil stepmothers on them so they could "vanquish" them.

Even Uncle Dan got in on the fun.

Then we had an epic balloon sword fight.

It was quite entertaining.

Milly was the winner!!

Having fun.
Here are some pictures from our little parties at home.







HAPPY BIRTHDAY LITTLE ONES!!
