Happy Birthday Jackson!

Today my good friend Emily's little boy, Jackson, turns 2 years old. Parker and I attended his fun Backyardigans birthday party this past Sunday, while Eden stayed home and enjoyed some father/daughter playtime.

Jackson is an amazing little boy! He was born at just 24 weeks and spent over 3 months in the NICU before getting to come home. He has had a lot of obstacles to overcome during the past 2 years but always seems to reach all of his milestones with flying colors.

Parker had a lot of fun at Jackson's party. When we arrived, Parker immediately found the balls- what a shock!! He enjoyed playing with them until it was time for a snack, which included chips and dip- one of Parker's new favorite foods!

Eating a snack and enjoying some juice in his new Backyardigans cup- what a great party favor!

When I woke Parker up from his nap and told him it was time to go to Jackson's party, the first thing he said was "Cake?". Although I assured him that we would get to eat cake at the party, he still kept asking me, "Cake? Cake?". After Jackson opened his presents, it was finally time to eat cake. Both of the boys devoured their cake and had blue icing all over their faces!

We had fun celebrating with Jackson and his family this weekend and wish him a very happy 2nd birthday today!
