Birthday Party @ the Beach

Since the start of our holidays started the weekend of/after Jaxon's birthday, we decided that we would do his party at the beach. Since it is in the summer, and we have the availability of the cottage at our hand, we were very fortunate to be able to do it there.Curt, Jaxon and I headed up to the cottage on Friday afternoon to start to get stuff ready for not only our holidays, but the big party too. I did all of our grocery shopping and organizing before some of our guests joined us on Saturday.
Sunday was the big party day. Our guest started to arrive around noon, and the party began. The weather was not to nice. Overcast and a little cool at time....but no rain!!!
I had got the kids fishing poles that were magnetized and fish to go with them, and we did some finger (or body) paining as well.Some headed down to the beach for a bit, and then it was present time!!!
What a haul. Jaxon did no need anything, but he certainly did get spoiled. He has played with absolutely everything that he got for his birthday, and I can pretty much say that he loves it all.We planned on having an early dinner because people had to travel home from the cottage, so I did not think that Jaxon needed to have an afternoon nap. Well, he demonstrated during the gift opening that me thought otherwise. He was one tired boy, and did not have his head on his pillow for more then 10sec. before his eyes were closed. He even had to take his new truck that he got from friend Riley to bed with him.While Jaxon had his little cat nape, we had our dinner. I did not think that he would be missing too much if he slept through that. We did decide to wake him for cake though. We maybe should have just left him sleeping, but he could not miss blowing his candles out on his cake.After he blew his candles out, he was done with the birthday stuff. All he wanted to do was go into the cottage and watch Mickey Mouse Club House. He was the birthday boy, and he could do whatever he wanted to do. It was getting late in the day anyways, and people had started to pack it up, as they still had to make the drive home from the cottage. The kiddies were all played out, and were ready to go home too.We had a wonderful day celebrating Jaxon's birthday. We are very lucky to have such great friends/family to come celebrate our special little boys birthday with us too.
