Jack turned 2 on Sunday! It’s hard to believe my baby isn’t a baby anymore! While he wouldn’t sit with the sign, he was happy to hold it in the air!

Jack’s Party in St. Louis January 16, 2009

Filed under: Family, Milestones, Photos — julescruise @ 1:56 pm

This past weekend we flew to St. Louis to celebrate Jack’s, Paige’s and Hailey’s birthdays. We had a party for Jack at the Transportation Museum. They have a room called Creation Station, and it was amazing! We could not have asked for a better party, and all of the kids loved it. It’s a large room with a lot of stations like dress up, cars, puzzles, kitchens, Thomas trains and tracks, etc. And there is a huge pirate ship that the kids can climb on and in. Unfortunately we didn’t get a photo of it!

I took this while we were driving home from Boca a couple of weeks ago, and I thought it was beautiful. Don’t worry, Gerry was driving!

As usual, better late than never! We had a great holiday. Jack loved the tree. He would look at all of the ornaments and name them all (oh look, a snowman! oh look, santa! oh look, a reindeer…).We got him Hallmark Thomas and Wall-E ornaments, and he loved them! They had to go at the top of the tree because he wanted to play with them! ha! He also loved lighting the menorah. He was excited to do it every night right after dinner.

Mommy didn’t have carrots, so the reindeer ate the cookies too!
