Jack's 10th Birthday

Jack's birthday fell on a Sunday during an already-busy weekend so he had a more spread-out birthday than usual, just like Luke did last month.

Friday

We gave him his first present in the morning, a box set of the original Star Wars DVDs.

We watched A New Hope that night and I made stuffed crust pizza, per Jack's request.

Saturday

The kids had their piano recital in the morning, then we went straight home and

had a lunch which included some of Jack's favorite things.  Then we enjoyed cool

Sorting Hat Cupcakes thanks so Suz.  We stopped at Scheels for another birthday

Ferris Wheel ride before going to Cat's soccer game in Salt Lake.  We stopped for pizza

for dinner before Jack finally got to watch Transformers with his dad and uncle -

something he's wanted to do for a long time but we made him wait until he turned 10.

Sunday

We had a big yummy grilled feast for dinner that evening, then sang to Jack

and ate more cake.  (Note: he opened presents throughout the weekend as

they were given or delivered but I never took any pictures of them.  Oops.)

Monday

I brought doughnuts to school for Jack to share with his class.

This was originally planned for the Friday before, but I was in a

minor car accident shortly before I was to be at the school, which

messed up the timing so we pushed it back a few days.  Jack was

disappointed but handled it well and enjoyed sharing treats and

getting the spotlight for a few minutes on Monday.
