This year we had Jack's birthday party away from home for the first time! We invited about 15 little friends to join him for a super fun Tae Kwon Do party! Hwang's Martial Arts did a fabulous job entertaining the kids of varying ages and making Jack feel really special! And I loved it because I literally did nothing except make the invitations! The birthday party package even included 4 classes leading up to his big day and an adorable uniform!!! Lots of fun, we will definitely have to do a party for Bennett there in a few years also. All the kids had a great time!
So that was on Saturday the 18th, and then on his actual birthday, Monday the 20th, we had a small celebration at my parent's house with a cake and a few more presents. We love our big boy! He is growing up so much. I seriously feel like he's turned a new leaf since his birthday, turning into an actual kid and no longer a baby at all. His personality is coming out more and more every day and it's so easy to just carry on conversations almost as if I were talking to an adult! He is a tremendous source of joy, FUN and cuteness in our lives.
As his friends were arriving, they set up an obstacle course for the kids!
Bennett loved the tunnel
My Dad was awesome and took lots of video footage of the big day! And many of these pictures were taken by my mom! Thanks Nana Peg and Pops!!!
Kevin made headbands for each kid with their name in Chinese and English on them. Here are my little Karate Kids!
Hadley!!!
Instructor Ian did an awesome job making Jack feel special and leading all the kids in Tae Kwon Do!
The cutest part of the party was when Spiderman came out and Jack got to "fight" him while all his friends watched. It was so super cute and Jack really did well playing along! 
Hi- YAH!!!

This is Jack's new best friend from our new church, Grayson, along with his Mommy and little brother who is just a few months older than Bennett!
After the party we came home and opened his presents with Nana and Pops.

For his cake on his actual birthday, Monday night, he requested a strawberry cake with strawberries on it! So that's the explanation of the girlie cake for my little boy!
More presents!!
My family there to celebrate the big boy on his actual birthday... everyone minus Pops who was working. We missed all our other family who couldn't be here (Meme, Nanny and Paw Paw) but hope to see each of you soon!
Bennett really enjoyed his piece of cake too!
