Happy Birthday Jack and Abraham!

Jack and Abraham Lincoln are celebrating their birthday today.  It’s Jack’s 7th and Abe’s 202nd.  It was Jack’s request to have an Abe Lincoln birthday theme.  Thank goodness we live in Central Illinois which is home to all things Abe Lincoln!

Building rafts and log cabins with Lincoln logs (pretzel sticks).   040044Lunch—everything is better on a stick! 

I came out this morning and found that Jack had set up all this new presents and some old favorites in front of the TV.  He also built a pretzel rod cabin.046047

Getting ready to blow out seven candles—wearing his new fedora and shades that he wanted so he can do the robot.  What an odd little character. 091
