Happy Birthday Jack!

In honor of Jack's birthday we rented a cabin near Sunriver with our friends MaryAnne and Jeremy and their 8 month old daughter, Lily. It was beautiful and sunny the whole weekend and Jack seemed to enjoy the change of scenery. I think it was originally supposed to be a weekend filled with snowy adventure- hiking, snowshoeing, etc. But instead we sat around visiting, watched the UO game, drank wine, ate tons of food, and soaked each night in the hot tub under millions of stars. Now that's my idea of a weekend getaway!

The inside of the cabin was... interesting. It was kind of like 70's lodge meets Native American tee pee museum display. I guess you'd just have to see it to understand... Jack stared and stared at the giant stuffed deer hanging on the wall. There was some sort of poor dead animal that had been made into a rug and Jack was really into rubbing his face on it. Yuck.

But the outside was nice and the hot tub was HEAVENLY!

Jack and Lily spent much of the weekend fighting over toys and pulling hair. Jack was the instigator. He really does not like to share his toys. I guess maybe he needs a sibling?? He was utterly fascinated by Lily's hair.. can you blame him?

Jack wasn't sure about the cake at first, but once he figured it out it was all over. He scarfed his piece down incredibly fast and then started banging on his tray for more. I am pretty sure he has inherited my sweet tooth (poor guy) and has obviously also inherited by lack of self-control. We had to cut him off after his second piece.
