Look Who’s 9!

We celebrated Jac’s birthday yesterday.. and the day before*… and today… and maybe again tomorrow. 

Who says birthdays have to be just one day a year??

Jac and I made a from-scratch chocolate cake on Thursday (so delicious) and decorated it with fresh strawberries at her request. 

It wasn’t especially pretty (I’m not a good ‘icer’) but it was deeeeeeeelicious. 

This year, Pop set up the back yard with a smaller pool and filled it with floaties, balls and water guns for Jac’s party.

Neither Jac nor Donovan are big water fans (they don’t like to get their faces wet) but both loved this shallow little wading pool. 

So much (crowded) fun!

As part of her birthday celebration, we measured Jac’s height - 50” - and weight - 55 pounds. She’ll always be my “Tiny Girl” but she’s not so tiny any more. (Donovan is 2 years younger but almost the same in both height and weight.)
