Jackson turns 12!

 Well, I'm not quite sure how it happened, but Jackson is now 12 years old!


We drove home from the Meine's cabin on his birthday and celebrated by going out to dinner to the his choice, Umami. The kids love it because you grill your own food right on your table. We headed home after for cake and presents.








Jackson had a birthday party with his friends the following weekend. We rented out a movie theater for he and his friends and watched the movie "Shazam!" Afterward, we brought the boys to our house for pizza and games. It was easy and low key and I think the boys had a lot of fun. I was impressed by how much these growing boys can eat! The teens are definitely right around the corner!
