Happy Birthday Jacob!

So at times it was painful and there were plenty of tears but we made it through the 2nd birthday, party and all. And here is something that I have learned about my beautiful son, apparently he associates family gatherings with the need to suddenly come down with some sort of ailment. Today it was a head cold, sneezing, runny nose and of course the irritability. I must say though for a little boy who was on Benadryl he performed magnificently until his body finally pooped put on him. This of course came at present/cake time. Until that point he had the time of his life since he was the star of the show.

Let's start with the cake. Jacob is a HUGE Blues Clues fan so I just could not pass up the opportunity to give him a paw print cake.
Then there were the presents:



See here is the proof that he did enjoy himself:

He enjoyed the magnetic blocks that Aunt Juanita and Uncle Hugh gave him:



The car that cousin Mike and Dava gave him:



And he absolutely loved the Thinking Chair that Grandpa and Sheila gave him:



And finally doesn't he look absolutely adorable in the PJ's that Grandma & Grandpa Ward sent him:



And not to forget one the most important things that happened today.......Rebekah's team tied their final soccer game 0-0, so they hold onto the 1st place spot! YEAH!

THE BEST GOALIE EVER!!!!!!!
