Playmates

Jackson REALLY wanted someone to play "light savers" with him!

Jackson's "Blast Off" Birthday Party

Jackson's birthday party was scheduled for the park today, but we had to make a last-minute change due to the rain. So, we found a pizza place that didn't mind having about twenty 2, 3, and 4-year-olds running around! Jackson had a great time, and we appreciate all our friends and family who came to the party. Mimi and Pop happened to be in town for Pop's annual Atlanta conference. Mimi got to come to the party, but Pop had classes today so he wasn't able to make it. Yoshiya, Yoko, Cayden, and Kayla also came in town for the party, and Jackson had so much fun playing with Cayden (as always). Here are some pictures of the party and some of our wonderful guests!

Jackson and His New Umbrella

Jackson got a new "Cars" umbrella for his birthday, and he's really been wanting to try it out in the rain. It started to sprinkle while we were driving home from preschool today, but by the time he got outside with his umbrella, it had stopped. Next thing I knew, he was yelling at the top of his lungs, "GOD, CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE IT RAIN??!!" (Kind of ironic since I've been praying the exact opposite for his outdoor party tomorrow that has since had to be changed to an indoor party to due the rain headed our way!)

Love this face!

Jackson is 4!!!

Happy Birthday, Jackson! We love you so much!

He woke up wanting to wear a birthday hat!
We took a cookie cake to his preschool class today, and his teachers gave him another birthday hat to wear at school!
