Jackson's Fifth Birthday

Jackson was so excited for his birthday this year! He got to celebrate at school and then again with his friends that afternoon! At school, each student drew a picture of what they would give Jackson for his birthday if they could (their pictures included sunshines, a spaceship, monkey bars, and Jesus!). The teachers made a book out of the pictures and sent it home with him. It was so sweet! We had a party for Jackson with his class after school. It was fun to have his party on his actual birthday! After his party, we continued celebrating with pizza, banana splits, and present opening at home with Mimi and Pop (who were in town for the weekend)! Here are some pictures of his fun day!

He wanted to wear his birthday hat first thing that morning! [We bought this hat for his first birthday and he has worn it every year since. It's kinda sad though because it only came with interchangeable numbers 1-5, so this is his last year to wear it (unless he wants to wear it again when he turns 12). Five seemed like so far away when we bought the hat!]
