Jackson had a wonderful birthday!! I really don't think that the day could have gone any better! He woke up that morning in bed with Mommy and Daddy. I kept him in bed with us after he woke up at 5 AM to feed, and he slept for another 2 hours in between us. He woke up at 7 AM with a big smile on his face and, as always, a huge amount of energy. Justin's mom and Carl were in town staying with us and we took him downstairs so that he could get his first "birthday song" of the day from them. Then we played a bit and then Justin's mom took over so that we could start getting things ready for his birthday party. Because Jackson LOVES the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, we made that his party theme. We kept it small and at our house so that he would be the most comfortable.At 10 AM, I put Jackson down for a nap and he decided to sleep until noon! This was perfect because that gave us time to decorate, cook, and get ready before the party started at noon. Once Jackson was up, we got dressed and headed downstairs to the party. I thought Jackson might get a little overwhelmed with the people there, but he was great! He was so cute and was hamming it up for everyone. I dont think he stopped smiling for most of the party. He let everyone hold him and was very interactive. His buddies Liam and Alexander also came to the party. Everyone had a wonderful time.
Lauren made the most perfect cake ever for us and it was also delicious! When it was time for Jackson to eat cake, he did much better than we thought. He actually ate some cake and icing, which we were surprised by, given all of the people watching him. He also enjoyed playing with it and feeding it to everyone else! He was eating up all of the attention from everyone! Then it was time for presents, and it's safe to say that Jackson was completely spoiled! He loved all of his gifts (and the boxes that they came in! :)
We also had a special treat at Jackson's party, since it was his great-grandma's 80th birthday as well. We surprised her with a cake and sang Happy Birthday to her too. I think she was really surprised and really enjoyed spending her birthday with her great-grandson and family!
After the party he took his afternoon nap and then we headed to dinner to meet my Dad and Grandma A to celebrate. Jackson did great at dinner, although Mommy and Daddy were pooped! He also enjoyed opening even more gifts that evening from my dad and my grandma. What a fun day! Next years birthday will be a much bigger celebration, but this year was perfect in every way!
