Jackson's 4th Birthday Party

After going to a place called The Art Barn a few months back for a storytime/farm fun morning every time I asked Jackson what he wanted to do for his birthday he said he wanted it at The Art Barn. So that is what we did! It was so easy! We have always had parties at home and I spend lots of time making food, decor, favors, etc! I did spend some time making the invitations, but it was fun! Other than that, I did almost nothing! We ordered pizza, had a fruit platter and I had a friend make cookies for the favors. I did make the cupcakes but that was fun! He wanted strawberry cupcakes and I had fun over the weeks prior testing out different recipes so I could make our favorite!

Favors were copies of The Big Red Barn and also homemade cookies decorated like sheep and pigs (made by my friend Gabriella)

Baby ducks!

Baby chickens

Jackson was a little unsure of holding the baby chickens

Connor and Tindal loved holding them!

The older ducks (still only a few months old) about to be released into their pool!

So happy to splash around!

Waylon and Mae Charles are such sweet siblings!

Will wanted to be by Jackson's side the whole time!

Papa with Samantha. When Will was about the same age he loved my dad and would run up to him when he saw him. He looks like and reminds the kids of their own grandfather (Stephanie's dad). It was so cute to see Samantha run straight to my dad this time and wanted him to hold her :)
