Happy 4th Birthday, Jaxson!!!

For Jaxson's 4th Birthday, he wanted to go to Kangaroo Zoo with some friends. I told him he could invite 2 friends, so he chose Riley and his best friend, Clayton. Kangaroo Zoo was a blast. Highlights included watching the kids bounce on each other and Jaxson opening the forbidden west door, thus enabling the alarm and lights.

The next day, we had a little lunch with our grandparents and cousins and aunts. Grandma Rae Rae, Grandma Barbie, Poppie, Aunts Cheri and Cindy and cousins Carson, Jessica and Madison came over for a few hours. We ate a delicious lunch and then moved the party outside for a pinata (or as Jaxson called it, a "pina-lotta). At the time, I thought it was the highlight of the day. But about 15 minutes after, when Jaxson opened the gift from Carson and Aunt Cindy, it was obvious that the highlight of the day was in the present!

Even Austin got into it!
Thanks to Aunt Cheri's help, Austin was successful!

Aunt Cheri Poppie was eager to have a turn! He gave the final blow to the head and POW- candy flew all over!
Kids scurried everywhere to get the candy! Lindsay kids- Austin, Jaxson and Taylor
Happy Birthday Jaxson!

Before Jaxson could open his gift from Aunt Cindy and Carson, there was an explanation from Carson about the gift- how it was for Austin and Taylor's birthday too. It was hilarious! To our shock and amazement, Jaxson opened an Nintendo game from Carson and Aunt Cindy
Jaxson couldn't believe it!
