HapPy birThDaY JaCk!

2011 welcomes in the year of the "friend" birthday party.  And Jack {along with the rest of the kids} has been planning his party for a while now.  So today, January 29th, exactly seven years since we welcomed Jack into our family, we celebrated his arrival with a

Drive-In Movie Party.  

{I never claim super creativity, but I am a great copier.  So thanks to a link on Lori Phippen's blog, we had a great time!} 

Here are some of the highlights.

The preparations:

The cake {we watched Despicable Me}

The concession stand {the kids had to enter the movie and buy treats with tickets they received}

The treat bags to take home

The kids decorated their own cars

Watching the movie

I think they really had a great time, and it was a really easy idea.

In addition, Jack enjoyed a full breakfast in bed.  He also enjoyed receiving a new Hawkeyes jersey.  Living in Iowa, he is turning into a Hawkeye {after his first love of the BYU Cougars, of course}.

Happy birthday Jack. We're glad you are in our family.  We love you.
