It was a big week for our family, with the main event being our little man's birthday. Jack is three years old! He got to celebrate quite a bit, with two parties, two Paw Patrol cakes, and lots of friends and family. We ordered pizza and ate cake on Wednesday night, then I hosted a little play date party with his buddies on Thursday morning, and we wrapped up the celebrations with a joint birthday party with his cousin, Jace, on Saturday. While Jack received lots of great gifts, he was most excited about the cake, and he definitely got to eat a lot this week. Jeritt scored tickets to the big Iowa football game on Saturday night, so Grandma C. flew out to hang out with us and celebrate Jack's birthday. On Sunday we resumed soccer after a long break, with Jack finally getting to join in the action. They both had a blast and are ready for next week!
