Jack's Birthday!

We started celebrating Jack's birthday two weekends ago!  One of our birthday traditions, is that you get to pick out what restaurant you want to go to...and Jack picked a fancy seafood restaurant!  He loves fancy, and he loves seafood!
 
We started with fancy drinks.

Then, for an appetizer, we ordered caviar.  Jack has always wanted to try it.  And while it was definitely a one time indulgence, it was so yummy, and it made Jack feel so fancy and special!

For the main course, he ordered crab stuffed lobster tails.

And finally, for dessert, he picked baked Alaska.



He loved all of it!  And for a 15 year old who wanted to wear a tuxedo--complete with a top hat and monocle--on the airplane when he was a kid, there was not a better birthday restaurant!  We loved treating him and watching him smile from ear to ear the whole night!

Then, on his actual birthday, we made the homemade meal he requested--pork schnitzel, bratwurst, fries, and homemade lemonade.

And for dessert, nutella strudel.

Then, to cap everything off, Bryan took him to see a racing movie and eat at Dave's Hot Chicken--J's favorite!--this weekend.

We had a wonderful time celebrating Jack!  We still can't believe he's 15!

Happy 15th Birthday, Jack!

15 years ago today, God blessed us with our second baby. We are beyond grateful that he’s our son!

He may be several inches taller than me now, but he’ll always be our baby!
