birthday party

Yesterday afternoon, we had Jake’s “family” birthday party. We’re doing things a little different this year–no kid party! But, later this month (or once the weather turns nice), he’ll have a few of his friends over for a sleepover and some other activities.

All of the grandparents, along with a few other family members, came over for cake and ice cream. Jake could hardly contain himself–he was so excited to open his presents. He sure got a lot of nice stuff, too.

The weather ended up being nicer than forecast, so most people filtered out onto the back patio at one point. Unfortunately, we don’t have the patio set up yet, but there was enough stuff set up to accommodate everyone.

As far as birthday parties go, we’ll call this one a winner.
