We celebrated my dad's big 60th birthday over the weekend, and had a great time. Jackson has understood the birthday concept for a bit now, but was so excited all week leading up/counting down to the celebration. He even remembered things like the fact that my dad's birthday is actually today, but we were just celebrating it on the 8th because they would be here.
He talked about singing Happy Birthday, eating cake and ice cream, and celebrating by "putting sprinkles on". I asked what he was going to put them on and he replied with, "On his birthday". I think he literally thinks anything birthday related should have sprinkles. I agree, I must say.
Jackson talked about opening his presents, and of course, my dad allowed him to help. And even though none of the presents were toys, J had such a blast opening them.
Happy 60th, Dad! You are an amazing father, husband, and grandpa and we are all so lucky to have you in our lives. Thank you for always providing fun, humor, crazy dancing and singing (favorites include Deliverance's Dueling Banjos, and the Beverly Hillbillies theme song, to name a few), support and love.
And here's a short video of Jackson calling Grampa this a.m. to sing Happy Birthday:
