Two Birthday Parties!

Jack got two birthday parties this year--neither was on his actual birthday, poor dear. The first was a shared party with MaMere and MoMo. Jack got his first taste of cake. If you look carefully you'll see that Jack is wearing a sweatshirt from my alma mater that my mom bought about 15 years ago. With all the chaos with the moves following Katrina, she couldn't find it in time for Xavier to wear it but it fits Jack to a tee.

Jack's second party was with the neighborhood kids. It was originally planned as a park party but the cold weather kept us inside. I put away the sidewalk chalk and bubbles and pulled out the riding toys that Jack and Xavier received from Grandma and Grandpa McNicholl. Those plus blocks served as ample entertainment. My dear friend Brooke supplied the most adorable sandwiches in various boy-friendly shapes. Jack got a second helping of cake--cupcakes this time.
