Celebrating 12....

We had a small family get together the night before Jacob's birthday. It was actually supposed to be on his birthday, but rained out and rescheduled baseball games caused us to reschedule at the last minute. It was just simple...but he loved having his family there to help him celebrate.

Opening gifts and cards....


Believe it or not, this photo was not totally posed. I asked Jacob to hold up his birthday cash and at the last minute Jenna stepped up behind him and made that face! Jacob has been saving for a Wii. Chris made him a deal that he would pay for 1/3 if Jacob paid for 2/3. Thanks to lots of birthday money, he reached his goal yesterday and is now begging us to take him to get his Wii!

Jacob's version of birthday cake - brownies with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, and whipped cream!

That sounds like my kind of cake, too! In fact, you could even skip the brownie, but gotta have the ice cream.
