Jake, the birthday boy!

We actually made the cake and did that celebration on Friday night. Jake (and the other kids) helped make the birthday cake. Then we went to McDonalds to eat and play at the playplace once daddy got home. Then it was home to sing Happy Birthday and eat some cake. I knew we wouldn't be able to do all the things we wanted to do on his actual birthday, so Friday was his "just us" party. Although, he is one smart cookie! He has already asked when the "real" party is...I had to explain that we aren't inviting friends this year, but we will invite grandparents, aunts and uncles over when we can find a day that works for everyone...after a few minutes he asked if that meant he got more presents and more cake, with a simple yes answer, he was alright again! (phew!). On his actual birthday we opened his presents before they left for church. He was pretty excited about his Batman toy from Luke (although Luke was upset because he thought it was his to "show" Jake....we will have to work on that!) a huge Cars coloring/activity book from Anna and another leapster game from us. He seemed content and off to church he went! What a big boy!
