Ashley Jones is mom to son Hayden and stepson Huck, which she admits is her most important job! She is also two time Emmy nominated actress best known for her role as ‘Daphne’ in HBO’s hit series, True Blood. She is a, self-proclaimed, Texas girl living in L.A. and often contributes to her celebrity blog on People.com.

She recently planned a joint birthday party for her son and step-son, which she admitted was a challenge. “It’s tricky because the boys’ birthdays are close together, but they are four years apart. This seemed like a good year to try and do that now that Hayden is bigger. However, I needed a theme and location that worked for both of them and their friends. I found Little Knights LA and loved all that they had to offer,” she told People.

Jones revealed that both Hayden and Huck love race cars, so it made for the perfect theme! The party went off without a hitch and Jones told People she, “Truly couldn’t have asked for a better day. Huck and Hayden had a magical time.”
