Happy Birthday Jack!

On November 10th our Jackie Bean celebrated his 3rd birthday! (Dustin and I can't believe we have a 3 year old! Where did the time go!?) Jack got more of like a birthday week this year. On his birthday, we went and picked up Dustin and took him to Burger King for lunch so he could play on the play place. Here he is in Dustin's office showing off his "birthday crown."
He got to open one present during the day (which he ended up doing on his own while I was upstairs getting ready!) Here he is showing his new toy to Daddy!
Well, weather Monday was awesome, then Tuesday it snowed, and it snowed again on Jack's birthday. So that afternoon, I let him open one more present before we headed out to play - A Spiderman hat and gloves!
He had lots of fun playing in the snow!
Wahoo!
That night when Dustin got home from work, we took Jack to Applebee's for dinner. Here is Jack and me trying to enjoy our food. (Z was kinda a stinker all night!)
Jack with his chicken fingers!
And the reason we went - Jack getting sung to by the waiters! He loved his birthday dessert!
Even though it was late when we got home, we opened some more presents! Jack was SO excited!
A new Spiderman umbrella!
Chutes and Ladders (and a super cool outfit) from Aunt Lisa!
Very excited over a Burger Builder Play-doh set from Grandma and Grandpa Hansen. They also gave him some cute pjs!
The next day Jack had fun playing with his new stuff! Here he is showing off his hamburger!
Saturday morning was Jack's Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday: Part 1. Here is Jack coloring Mickey Mouse pictures with his friend, Phoenix.
Playing pin the bow on Minnie. (If you notice, Jack was pretty darn accurate. I wonder if he was cheating...)
Playing Musical Dots.
The kids then watched an episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, "Happy Birthday, Toodles" and then played LIMBO!
Here are the kiddos: Phoenix, Jack, Dwayne, and Brynn enjoying their lunch. On the menu: hot dogs, apples with carmel dip, carrots with ranch dip, chocolate milk, and Sprite with Kool-Aid ice cubes.
Here is the Mickey Mouse cake I made. Thankfully, a friend here had a Mickey Mouse pan. I just had to bake it and decorate it. I think it turned out alright, and it was delicious!
Jack with his cake!
Singing Happy Birthday!
Blowing out the candles!
Opening the present from Phoenix! Monster Trucks - he loves them and Phoenix was very excited to give them!
Blowing his birthday horn! (And notice the dots! He loves playing with those silly foam dots I bought for the game!)
Modeling the Mickey ears we handed out at the party.
Cheeese!
Then Sunday night we had Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party: Part 2. Jack's two best buddies from across the street couldn't come on Saturday, so we had them and their families over Sunday night for another party. We played the same games, ate mostly the same food, and Jack was in heaven! Here he is with his best friends, Emerson, Eli, and Braeden. He was so excited about his presents from them too! A book about trucks with stickers, a very cute outfit, and a art set!

Overall, Jack had a wonderful birthday week. All this week he keeps saying he wants to have another birthday...Ha! Too much fun! As for me, I had fun planning a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party, buying decorations and party favors, the music, coloring books, previewing episodes, etc. Thanks to everyone who made Jack's birthday special! Happy Birthday to our sweet Jack! We love you!
