Jackson's Family Party

On New Year's Day, we had Jackson's Cars party. He chose from Toy Story 3, Thomas the Train, and Cars-- and he didn't waver at all in his decision, and kept reminding us all the way through Target check out that he indeed did pick Cars and wasn't gonna change his mind. Wow- so opposite from the way his older brother makes decisions!

(I wish I got a picture of the table with the pinata, goodie bags and cool balloon!!)

Everyone woke up late (thank goodness) so the party started around 12. We had a pinata full of candy and prizes- we let the boys hit at it until it WOULDN't brake! So then the adults joined in. IT was pretty hilarious watching adults play a kid's game! My dad finally broke the CARDBOARD pinata! Who makes a pinata out of thick cardboard?!

(pictures or video coming soon)

Then we did presents and cupcakes- the most yummiest cupcakes ever, made by my super talented friend- chocolate, peanut butter ganache! To die for!

We let Jackson practice blowing out a candle with his french toast in the morning, and by the 3rd try he got it! He smiled and sang "happy" as we sang to him, and enjoyed that yummy cupcake!
