Jack's Fiesta

Jack got into his birthday more and more as the day progressed. By the time we did presents and cake and ice cream he knew it was his special day.

He started the day with his favorite breakfast, pancakes. One was shaped as the number three and the other was a birthday cake - if you can't tell from the picture:).

For those of you that don't know, Jack is really into animals. He must have some special power to speak to the animals, because these three deer were in our front yard this morning visiting Jack on his birthday. They actually made national news because after they left our neighborhood, the followed three runners for 12 miles!

Jack chose to have a Go Diego Go cake. Two minutes after I brought the cake home, he ate a bunch of the frosting off of it (Swiper, no Swiping!).

Had I known, I would have had Jack open Papa's present last. Papa gave him a set of animals from Bass Pro Shop - deer, elk, pig, a hunter, etc., etc. Jack could care less about any other present after that. We were exclaiming over all the other presents and trying to get him excited about the "laptop computer" that Halle had just opened for him since he wouldn't. He just looked up and said appropriately, "Oh my goodness!" and went back to his animals. Thanks Papa!

Kate enjoyed the party - wrapping paper and all!
