Jackson's best friend Reed shares Jackson's birthday. Since Reed has moved out of town, it's really special when the two of them get to hang out. Luckily they only live about 2 hours away so we do get to see them quite often. We thought it would be fun for them to spend their birthday together so Reed's family drove up for church on Sunday and then spent the afternoon with us. Tammy made a cake so it was another mini-birthday party. As Jackson would say, "Happy Birthday Reed Alexander."
Jackson turned 4 last weekend. Rather than have a big party, since it was a busy weekend, we decided to just have a few friends over for pizza & cupcakes. Since last year Jackson has been asking for a Mater cake. Since my cake decorating skills are very limited (must have a cake pan in the shape and all the directions....I'm not one to create something out of nothing) I decided we'd just have cupcakes with Mater on them. Turns out the Mater was too big but he was at the party regardless.
How do you ever get good pictures on Easter? I wanted to try before we went to church but we were way too late getting out the door...no time for pictures. Right as we got home, I made the boys go outside and pose for a picture. They're both much more interested in lunch. It's also getting harder and harder to get both of them to smile and look at the camera on the same shot.
These pictures were taken back in February. I just thought they were too cute not to post. Please ignore Grayson's messy face. He's not one who likes to be kept clean.
