Jackson's birthday weekend was filled with a soccer tournament, then a karate tournament. So, we had to plan his birthday party for a few weeks after his actual birthday. His actual birthday was on Saturday, which was his first ever soccer tournament. He wanted Granny and Papa and Dianna and Darby to come, so, of course they did. He also thought it would be a good idea to bring cupcakes for his friends after the game...
Everyone who participated at the karate tournament got a trophy, but Jackson scored the highest on his routine and won against his opponent in sparring. Yay!
For months, Jackson has wanted to have his birthday party at Lazer Kraze (which is a laser tag place.) We have never had a party anywhere but home, so I wasn't sure. I'm a little bit Type A about my party planning, so giving up all the responsibility and power to someone else, and paying them to do it, was a big deal. I agreed because he wanted to do it so badly...
(Yes, this cake is ugly, but he loved it - it's exactly what he wanted. The red and blue lines are lasers.)
We ended up having about 25 kids there - it was great! Everyone had fun, played some tag and some games, ate pizza and cake and went home. Our first outside of home party went pretty darn well!
