Happy Birthday, Dada!

It was Jason's birthday on Friday and although he said that he didn't want to do much in the celebrating department, we ended up having quite the birthday extravaganza. We couldn't even fit all of the festivities into just one day...and you guys thought I was the birthday Diva! Ha!



The preparations begin...the boys decide to get a little artsy in honor of good ol' Dad


Hayes wasn't afraid to get real creative


Jack is definitely proud of the finished product!


On to the next labor of love...the cake!


Can you tell that Jack takes his cake very seriously?


A little reward for all of his hard work!

As usual, Jack is very willing to show off any type of battle scar. This doozer came after Jack and I decided it would also be nice to draw Jason a birthday sign on the fence outside. Unfortunately, Jack wasn't a big fan of the way I wrote the "D" in "Dada" and tried to erase it with his hand. This resulted in no less than thirty splinters! Of course, I had no idea what to do so we just sat on the sink running his hand under cold water while he wailed and wailed for Dada! Thankfully, Jason was only about twenty minutes away!

Jack is making sure Jason doesn't have any more cake hiding in there...

I think the splinters are finally forgotten!

Yep, definitely a faint memory. What a good daddy we've got around here...



The next morning we went to a birthday breakfast with Jason's side of the family

Somehow the kids found a tree to climb at the restaurant...go figure!

Moving on to celebration number three with Gigi and Grandad...as you can see, Hayes is still feeling very festive!

Bring on the sketti!

Hayes and Grandad are in good spirits...even though Hayes is trying to play it cool

And the perfect ending to Mr. Sweet Tooth's big days...more cake!
