Happy Birthday Justin!!
Justin is officially 26 now. We had an awesome day full of surprises!
We started off early with breakfast which included one of Justin's most favorite things in the whole world which I refuse to buy or ever cook because I don't like it or even the smell of it.....bacon. He was happy to say the least. :) And if you were wondering, I have been having a little fun with our pancakes lately. They J is obviously for Justin and if you can't tell the other one is a birthday candle. I know, I'm silly.
Then we moved on to our new family tradition....the Birthday Bucket! I completely copied this idea from my good friend Kara (she always has the best ideas!). It was filled with a few of Justin's favorite things. I am excited to keep this tradition going. Thanks Kara!
Justin had originally told me that he didn't want to do anything big for his birthday but after talking to one of my friends we decided that was boring. So we had some friends over for three delicious kinds of cheesecake (thanks Taylor!) and for a little surprise...
In Relief Society we had a service auction where we all offer some sort of service and other sisters in the ward can buy them with their points that they earned. Well, I bought a singing telegram from Kristy Rogers and she came during the birthday party. It was pretty hilarious and Justin was pretty embarrassed! It was great. Jack did not seem to think she was very funny at all. He cried the whole time she was there! Maybe the make-up was a little much for him, I don't know. The second she walked out the door he was fine. Poor Jack! Oh, and the lips on Justin's forehead are from her! Thanks again Kristy!! You were great!
They boys making sure she's really gone! :) Jackson was saying, "Where the cown go?"After all of the festivities, we had a relaxing evening talking with family and hanging out. I think it ended up being a great day...hopefully Justin thought so too!
Happy birthday Justin!
I have a video of the singing telegram, but I couldn't get it to work, so I will have to post it later...check back soon!

Haha that picture of you guys and "the clown" is hilarious! Jack looks terrified! Happy Birthday Justin!
LOL! That is funny. Clowns are freaky! Did you ever see the movie IT? You would never like clowns if you did. I saw the bucket on Karas blog too. It's so cute! I'm totally stealing that one too. How fun! Hope it was a happy day!
Glad you had a great day and just wished we could have been there to celebrate with you. Like everyone else has said...Jack was pretty upset about the clown and Justin looked like he was not too sure about her either. I really don't like clowns either. (The poor lady in your ward...hope she is not reading the blog comments!!!). She looked really cute in her costume though, and such a cute idea to do the singing telegram. Love you all.....MOM H.
