Happy Birthday, Jordan!

Jordan turned 12!! (Not sure how that many years have passed that quickly, but somehow it happened.) The weekend of his birthday, Jordan invited a few friends over for a birthday sleepover. There were lots of pictures taken - especially during dinner, as they tried to outdo each other with their antics - but here are the highlights...

Jordan chugging directly from the Pepsi bottle. Only allowed on birthdays...

Jordan has had these same friends over for several years now, and we always have a picture in this pose! His friends unanimously agreed he was a lot heavier than last year.

My personal favorite: One of Jordan's gifts was a set of Nerf dart guns (which were immediately ripped open and unleashed on our home). After they'd been running around for awhile, I told them to pose with their guns so I could take a picture. Chris had a different set of guns in mind... =)

The birthday cake

Here he is a few days later with a panful of brownies on his actual birthday.

The obligatory now-you're-a-deacon birthday tie...

And here's what he really wanted for his birthday! Concerts available upon request.
