Jack's 9th Birthday Party

Tonight we hosted Jack's 9th Birthday party here at home.  He is a riot, wanted to plan it all by himself...well with the help of our super party planner Drew.  For those of my friends who LOVE themed parties...this was NOT one of those.  This was the most random of random parties, but just as Jack wanted it to be.

He was able to invite 9 friends...since he is turning 9 on Sunday.  He invited friends from school, sports, the neighborhood and one little friend from church with special needs (his Mom is in some of the pics, kind of wish it were my skinny body in the background, but it's hers :) )

We started with Captain America invitations, followed by an NFL birthday cake, games in the basement, paper airplane contests in the garage, pizza, cake and ice cream, and Christmas Pez toys for party favors.  All things Jack loves...so fun

Here are some pictures from the night...

Airplanes in the garage

Finishing up their scavenger hunt in the basement

The whole gang, less Tommy who was waiting for the pizza upstairs.

The fancy cake he chose.

Getting sung too....loving it

He got all of the candles

One of my favorite pics of the night, we always have their friends sit by them as they open their gift.  This was Jack's reaction when he saw his friend Seth had given him a Wendy's gift card...this boy LOVES his Wendy's...STILL!

After everyone had gone home he wanted to get to building, he built this Lego Hero Factory guy in about 20 minutes.  He does NOT get that patience or building skill from his Mom.

Sunday is the REAL birthday, and we are excited to celebrate as a family.  He has some special requests for meals, see if we can work them in.  :)  Happy early birthday sweet and funny boy.  XOXO
