Jackson's 4th Birthday Party!!

Jackson's 4th birthday party was a racecar themed party picked out by Jackson himself! He loves anything with wheels, especially if it can "go faster"!:)

 

 

 

 

 

 

We had the party at Jackson's Granny and Poppa's house this year because we were working hard on getting our house ready to sell. And since we were meeting with realtors that very next week, we decided it might not be the best idea to cover it with racecar decorations. Thanks to Granny and Poppa for letting the party invade your house instead! :)

 

 

The table decorations! It's all about racing flags and stop lights this year!

 

 

 

 

 

 

And Jackson's cake was awesome!

(And delicious too! This one is all icing - no fondant. Jennifer did a fabulous job!)

And Sara from the Kroger bakery made us special racecar cupcakes! Jackson's fav!

 

 

We even had a racetrack for the kids to run and play and "race" on!

 

 

 

Jackson says "It's my birthday! I'm 4!"

 

 

Family picture time!

 

 

Thanks to my aunt Dianne for capturing a good group picture with Granny and Poppa!

 

 

My silly boy!

 

 

 

And we were so excited that my grandmother could make it from Alabama for Jackson's party!

 

My uncle Charles and aunt Dianne got to come from Alabama too! Jackson had a good ole time wrestling with Charles! :)

 

 

Jackson loves his Poppa!

They are resting up for the party and watching the race on the TV! :)

 

Jackson was super pumped when his cousin Abe showed up and he even let him help blow out the candles! 

Are they cute or what!!?? :)

 

 

The boys agreed that the cake was delicious! :)

 

 

 

And he got way more presents than he should have again this year! Lots of fun toys to play with!

But the hit of the day was a racetrack that took mommy and daddy a good while to figure out how to put it together! I swear some of these kid toys require an engineering degree to put all the pieces together! It would help if the directions were more than just pictures - I prefer some words too! :)

 

 

 

But after it was finally assembled, Jackson, Abe and Emily had a blast "racing"!

 

 

And we had lots of family and friends over to celebrate this special day!

 

 

 

 

 

All in all, we had a super fun day! Jackson had a blast and I love to watch him have such a good time playing with his friends and family! But, seriously, who can believe my little guy is already four years old! Where has the time gone!? It may be going by fast, but I sure am loving every minute of it! I don't know what we did before we had Jackson in our lives!
