Jarem's 7th Birthday

I made Jarem his traditional name shaped pancakes for breakfast in bed on his birthday!


He must have had a rough night because his hair was sticking up all over!
He was happy though!
His birthday just happened to fall on a Thursday which is the day that I come and have lunch with he and Tessa every week! He was pretty excited about that! So, I came and brought him lunch and he passed out Lofthouse cookies to his class.

That evening he opened his presents.



And we made his favorite meal of Chick Fil A nuggest with mac n cheese and baked beans


Jesikah and Tessa sent Eric and I to get their presents for Jarem while they were at school.  Jesikah wanted us to get a gameboy game preferably Kirby or something like that.


Of course, he was thrilled because he doesn't have any gameboy games of his own. Alex gave his old gameboy for Christmas, but he has been borrowing Tessa's games.


Kirby is one of his favorites! Jesikah was glad he liked it!





Tessa with Jarem when he is ready to open her gift.
Tessa got him a Wii game, which he was equally as excited for! Super Mario Bros has always been a favorite in our house.  That game has stood the test of time!!
Then Eric and I got him a few presents...this Nerf water gun.  You can see his is ready to break this thing open and get Alex back for all those times! :)
This gift is a Lego set that attaches with the following gift!

Eric and I were very excited to find this gem! We were looking for an electric train or Legos--both of which he asked for.  Then we found a LEGO ELECTRIC TRAIN!!!  As soon as we saw it, we knew that was the thing, and we were right. He was SO excited!!  Ever since we gave Alex's old electric train to Austin, he has been asking for one.  He has enjoyed it, but we still don't have it all built! It was a ginormous set!


Alex didn't want to come up empty-handed because he and Jarem do have a pretty good relationship.  Jarem put the Wimpy Kid books on his "want list" from the book fair.  Since Alex has the whole set, he gave Jarem books 1 and 2.

Everyone excited about Jarem's new toys!
