Jackson's Birthday!

The day before Jackson's birthday, I asked if he wanted me to make birthday cake pancakes for breakfast.  He said he wanted donuts instead!
 
 So we took him to get donuts!
 
Then, when Papa Bear got home from work, we took went to see "Finding Dory"!  J was so excited!
 
 
When we got back from the movie, he wanted to open presents first, so that's what we did!  The week before his birthday when we were at Barnes and Noble, he showed me a book about the presidents and dinosaurs that he wanted, so I went back later to get those for him.  He was so happy!

He was also pretty excited about his Iron Man hands

and mask!


He also got a Hulk action figure.  He is pretty obsessed with super heroes right now!


We found this Star Wars baking set and thought it was perfect for him!

One of our birthday traditions is that you get to pick whatever home-cooked meal and dessert you want on your birthday.  Jackson originally asked for grilled cheese, then changed it to just a turkey and cheese sandwich!  He is a turkey!

Then for dessert, he wanted me to make a cherry cheese pie--or "cold cherry pie" as he calls it!


He always loves when we sing "Happy Birthday" to him, and it's the cutest thing ever to watch him smile from ear to ear!

He takes blowing out the candle very seriously!




Another tradition we have is that sometime around your birthday, you can pick a restaurant to have a special dinner.  Jackson chose Sonic!  He's nothing if he's not fancy!

We've had so much fun celebrating our little 6 year old over the past few days!  He's the best, and we love him so!
