Jack's 5th Birthday


Because of Jack's asthma we usually get lots of pictures of him blowing out the candles... he has to blow a 4 or 5 times to get enough air to actually extinguish the flame!
This was on the ACTUAL birthday.
We went to China River for Jack's birthday dinner and then off to Build-a-Bear Workshop.
Jack calls him Mr. Bear but at Build-a-Bear he named him George.  He wanted the other blue bear with the Star of David on the paws and the menorah on the tummy... He compromised to the "winter wonderland" bear.
We had a little party with a couple of our favorite families... The Nunnerys and The Sproats!
We played pin the tail on the donkey.

Jack made a paper-mache hot air balloon at the library a few months ago so we filled it with candy.  It was so heavy and unstable that we couldn't hang the pinata so we improvised and played soccer with it.  The kids had a blast with it.

Waiting their turn... Olena, Brinley, Elise and Jack




The loot... AKA leftover and clearance Halloween candy.


The only picture we got of the Batman cake.  It didn't taste very good but Jack LOVED the batman on the bat cycle.
