Jacks 2nd birthday
So we celebrated jacks 2nd birthday at the
Story’s house during our Christmas break from VCU. We had a great time
especially since Jack was old enough to interact with everyone and understand
that the party was centered on him. Dave, Kymm, Kyndra, Eric, Cloey (+shAy,sheeB),
Dad, Jason, Jenny and Natalie were all there. Hudson joined us in mom’s belly
and J.R. showed up later. We had a whopper cake that Terryn made, that was very
difficult to cut and eat, but it was quite delicious. We had dinner with
everyone, umm- sloppy joe’s! We let jack attempt to blow out the candles but
at first he seemed a little hesitant, so I helped him blow them. After I
started cutting the cake he understood the candles, and asked to blow them out
on his own. Second, third and forth times were perfect, even though he gave the
cake a little shower in the process. He then proceeded to put one of the
whoppers in his mouth, spit it out and push it back in the cake. He was so
excited to have everyone there, showing jenny, Jason and Natalie his basketball
hoop and how he can dunk it. Playing the “what” is this game with jenny, she is
the only one that can keep up with him. He actually opened his own presents,
starting with a neat block set from grandma (he quickly opened this one), the
next present from grandpa James was a jacket that jack hastily opened until he
could tell that it was clothes and immediately was non-deserving of his
attention. After that he acted skeptical, not wanting to get fooled by clothes,
plus he quickly realized that everyone was watching him and he grew a little
gun shy. But eventually he opened his new blanket that mom did such a good job
on and a small Percy train from grandpa that you shake to make move. It was
cool to seem him engaged by the gifts and funny to see his reaction to clothes.
We then all lit the way for Jesus, a second annual
tradition we do for jacks birthday. We even braved the cold snowy night to do
it correctly. It was an amazing party for Jack and we are so glad that we have
such amazing families. Jack is
such an good sport and loves all his family, the blessings we receive are so
numerous that there is no way to truly thank our maker for his love.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK
