Saturday our family experienced a first: throwing a 'real' birthday party for Jackson. We were on the fence on whether or not to do one this year, but in the end decided to throw one. We invited the friends he talks about the most, along with their siblings and parents (16 people in all). If there wasn't a birthday cake and presents it seemed more like a BBQ with kids running around and hot dogs and burgers on the grill.
The weather was excellent (thank God!). It was perfect for the game we played: throwing water balloons off the deck into various sized buckets. That was a hit, for the adults and kids! We had a great time and so did Jackson. He has some amazing friends a equally amazing parents.
After the party Jackson crashed for a bit while we cleaned up. When he got up we wanted to enjoy the rest of the beautiful day so we hit the road for a nice walk (he rode his new bike) and then to a park before dark. It was a great way to end the day before bed. We all slept very well.
