Under Construction

We had Jackson's first birthday party on Saturday and it was so much fun! I had tons of fun planning the party once we decided to go with a construction theme. We served food with shovels, had dirt dessert in a big dump truck, and used road signs, construction cones, and caution tape for decorations! Jackson had a great time even though he started out a little crabby after having to wake up a little early from his afternoon nap.

There was lots of socializing.

Many fun new presents to open - thank you everyone!!!

Sand to play in! This was a huge hit until the guys dumped the sand out. Lily and Brady stood by watching and saying things like "This is not nice" and "I do not like this". Don't worry, we will fill it back up as soon as we move home to Kalamazoo in another month.

I would have to say the highlight of the party was Jackson eating his cake! He wasn't too sure what to do at first, but he really didn't want to touch the cake. After a little prompting, he decided it was okay to dig right in and he ended up polishing off the whole piece of cake!!

Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate with us!! We hope you had fun!!
