We spent 7 hours of his birthday in the car on our way to the beach so when we got there we headed to dinner at his choice, The Boiling Pot. After a really yummy dinner of boiled shrimp, sausages, potatoes and corn that they dump on your table and you chow down on, we headed back to the house to let Jack open some gifts.
Shopping for a 9 year old is so much harder than say a 3 year old boy! Everything is electronic and really expensive. He had a great haul in the gifts department this year. Everything from a personal DVD player to Target gift cards to a giant super soaker!
He had a really special birthday this year and being on vacation made him feel even more special.
Greg and I are super proud of our big boy. He is such a sweet, confident, energetic young man.
Here are some interesting things about Jack at nine:
*loves the outdoors
*great at school
*not a big eater, but we keep trying!
*very friendly
*still a momma's boy
*lots of friends
*really loves his video games
*enjoys thinking games like chess and checkers and card games
*very helpful, would do anything for anybody
*can't wait until he is old enough to go to Guatemala with his grandparents
*loves elderly people, goes out of his way to hold doors or pick up something they drop and loves to talk to them
*loves history, really into watching the History Channel, anything about wars or presidents
*reminds me so very much of his daddy!
Happy Birthday Jack, we love you tons!
