Jack turned 12 years old this year, and he is looking every bit his age! He’s become a sweet, gangly, smart kid. He’s made many new friends this year and grown so much with his middle school experience.

He agreed that a low-key party sounded fun this year. He had two friends over for the afternoon to play video games, watch cartoons, and eat pizza. That may not sound very exciting, but I think it’s the first time he’s had a friend over since his outdoor party last year. Everyone took a covid test in the morning, so they could relax mask-free together.

He asked for the same cake as last year – chocolate with strawberry frosting šŸ™‚
