9er...Wait, did I catch a "niner" in there?

I cannot believe our oldest has turned 9. This year has FLOWN by so quickly!
Yeah, it's real funny, Jack. Real funny.
So, for the birthday, Jack opted to have a "late night" with his two best buddies instead of a party. 
It was awesome. I highly recommend it!
Actually, he wanted to have dinner with his cousins, Uncle Corey and Aunt Jenni, and his piano teacher. Unfortunately, the cousins got sick. Fortunately, they got sick so they didn't come to what turned out to be Strep Fest '13. But that's another story.
So, no pictures of dinner, but we did get a few shots...
Jack's buddy made him a satellite, with a crystal and everything! It was awesome and creative.
 Jack's other buddy got him a robotic fish. It was crazy cool!
 Uncle Corey and Aunt Jenni got him his very own Creeper. I think if you play Minecraft, you'll know what that is. I just think it's a little creepy--but Jack loves it.
  
 Then we lit things up. With birthday candles. 
 Jack chose a cool dragon for his cake. It was really fun and pretty simple to make. 
 In a nutshell, it was fierce.
And then those crazy boys went to the Fun Center and played like crazy. Tyler took them. Seriously, easiest party ever. 
 Jack's actual birthday was a few days later. We still had the body of the cake, so, hooray! we were good to go.

I love the top picture of Jack. It just shows his personality so well! And, I'm glad he liked his gift from us. I was a little worried because it doesn't really do anything. But, it is Minecraft and I know how much he likes Minecraft.
