Jack is Sixteen!

Allen Family tradition requires birthday cake pancakes to start the day!

Mama brought this cake just for Jack even though I got him one too!

Trick candles that were like sparklers that just would not go out. Ok, maybe these are a little mean, but FUNNY!

Jack's friend party was at MishMash at Fox Valley Mall, a year to the day of his last birthday party (and the day that his freshman year of high school shut down).  MishMash is a one-of-a-kind urban adventure.  There are 13 unique rooms; as a team you have to solve a logical or physical challenge within a specific time to 'win' the room.  They had two hours to complete all of them.  They didn't quite get them all, but had a blast trying. 

Katherine, Liam, Emma, Caleb and Jack -- appropriately masked and distanced, of course.
