Jimmy's 9th Birthday - February 4, 2025

Jimmy turned 9 this week and we celebrated his last birthday of 'single digits' beginning with our traditional cinnamon rolls on the morning of February 4th:

After a day spent at school and basketball practice, we enjoyed Jimmy's dinner of choice (hot dogs and homemade mac and cheese) before opening presents.

As you can see, James chose a "magic theme" for his birthday and while we will be celebrating with a magician (!!!) with all of his friends later this week, I still followed through with the same concept when setting up his gifts in the dining room.

I enjoy a good theme and being able to use signs and wrapping paper to simply elevate the celebration even more is one of my most favorite things.

These two are two peas in a pod ... my two blue-eyed babies.

Jack chose to give Jimmy a big beanbag chair designed like a football.  It was a challenge to wrap and Jimmy spent a lot of time trying to figure out exactly what was in that beast of a box.

Sophia picked out some weighted stuffed alligators for Jimmy (which he loved) and he opened more collector Pokemon cards.  I still don't understand the thrill of them, but he consistently continues to put them on his wish list.

We finished the evening off with brookies and another candle while sang happy birthday to the special boy that completed our family.
