Jaxson's 5th BD and Round Rock Trip

It may seem far away at times, but we are still lucky to live only 2.5 hours from the Parks' side of the family.  This weekend was Jaxson's 5th birthday and with us having the week of Thanksgiving off, it was a great time to spend some extra days just having fun.  The cousins love all being together and especially sleepovers at Nana's.  Jaxson had a unique birthday party at the Bass Pro Shop bowling lanes.  The lanes are all decorated with fish and underwater themes.  Not to mention the fun party room, pizza, and cake!  I had to laugh as most of Jaxson's gifts were sports or hunting gear.  If it didn't fall in that category it was still either camo colored or small toys.  I love Jax's fun loving attitude, spunk of energy, and love of sports.  I should note here that he also will still monkey hug me and give me kisses...even if "girls" are watching.  On Sunday we just relaxed at the house until lunch time when we met up at Hat Crekk for lunch.  The kids were able to play on the playground while we ate lunch.  We even ventured to the outlet mall after lunch in hunt of Christmas pajamas for all 4 kids.  Guess what, first store we hit was Gymborie and it was a JACKPOT!  We went with pajamas this year that can also be work as clothes in order to get more use out of them.  So, the girls will match and so will the boys!  Then, us 3 girls (Nana, Mendy and I) have matching monogrammed pajamas.  But, you will have to wait till Christmas to get to see them!  Sunday night the cousins had a sleepover and were able to spend Monday having fun at McDonald's and playing together before one last family dinner.  And it is worth mentioning that we made smores for dessert.  Chris even helped Mom make the ULTIMATE smore with 3 layers.  Hahahaha!  It was a great LONG weekend!
