How in the world has seven years passed by? We have watched Jackson grow into such a fantastic little guy. This year we didn't do a big party. We celebrated with the Miller's on one day and my family on another. It worked out better for everyone's schedule. We started earlier in the week celebrating with the Miller's.
Luke and Jackson share a birthday and Emma has a birthday later in the month, so we decided to combined all three. It was so fun to watch Luke eat his first birthday cake. All of the cousins were anticipating him taking his first bite.

Emma and Jackson each had happy birthday sang to them and then they opened gifts. Jackson got new Tiger's gear and a catchers glove- heavenly for him! It was a nice evening swimming, visiting and celebrating.
On Jackson's actual birthday he and Todd got up early and headed out for a round of golf. Its Jackson's favorite thing to do on summer mornings. Once he was home and he had his birthday breakfast and we opened gifts. We decided to give him a few gifts before his evening celebration with family. 
Jackson was thrilled when he opened his new first base glove from Aubrin. Evidently seven year olds need three gloves. I'm sure it will be broken in well before his next season starts. Jackson was also happy when he opened his new bike from mom and dad. His legs were just a bit too long for his old bike. We spent the day playing outside, riding bikes and playing ball.
Later in the day my family and a few close friends came to celebrate Jackson. It was a beautiful evening to sit out on the deck and catch up while all of the kids played. 
Jackson loved that he got a globe from my parents. He has been wanting one for a while. He LOVES geography. 
Jackson was also thrilled to get the Diary of a Wimpy Kid book and Drawing Book. Not my choice of reading for Jackson, but he really wanted to read them! Great Grandma was the hit of the party with that gift:) After birthday festivities, all the kids headed outside, grabbed something to ride and off they went.

Now that all of the kids are a bit older, no party games needed. They just have a great time hanging out together.
Of course it would not be a birthday week without a Tigers game. We had a nice family day watching the game.
