Jack's 12th Birthday

In talking about Jack's upcoming 12th birthday, I suggested a Coca-Cola theme for the event.  That is Jack's vice: a nice, cold coke every once in a while in the afternoon after a day of work or while watching a football game.  He's aged beyond his years.

We celebrated with our annual cinnamon rolls in the morning:

And then I wrapped the gifts from us and set them up on a table with the sign that I made in honor of his upcoming party with friends.

All smiles in anticipation of what might be in those gifts!

Sam jumped in for a quick photo and I can't help but notice that Jack is starting to gain on her height.

He requested a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and I was happy to accommodate.  

His birthday party with friends will take place in early June at our house -- continuing with this chosen theme -- since we all agreed that there is SO much happening at the end of the school year and it would be nice to wait until all of the invitees are able to party with us.
