Jackson's 8th Birthday

Saturday, May 29, 2021


It's Jackson's birthday! We had hoped to go to Chemka Hot Springs to go swimming for his birthday, but he had a soccer tournament that weekend and the weather wasn't great, so we'll try to do that another time.  However, an 8th birthday cannot pass uncelebrated, so we met at AIM mall after he'd finished his soccer games that day for a late lunch and cake.  




Above: lighting the candles! An 8 candle and a big sparkler candle, so he's sitting well back!

Below: opening my gift.  I didn't have any nice wrapping paper, unfortunately. 


In Tanzania, the birthday person cuts the cake and serves it to their guests, and he's finally old enough to be able to mostly manage to cut the cake himself. 


Enjoying lunch...David and Fibi (Jackson's aunt and uncle, and my coworkers at Alpha Omega) and their son Kendrick, and Emmy sharing some fish (her favourite!) with Uncle David. 


Jackson's choice for lunch was a star pizza from Bravo.  It's a stuffed crusts with pepperoni and cheese inside, with french fries served in the middle.  It's one of his favourite things to order for special occasions!
