| Happy Birthday Jake - up before the sun! |
So we started off with a small present to play with until breakfast was ready.

For breakfast Jake wanted french toast (for the 3rd day in a row), so we made Grammy's fancy Decandant French Toast as a special treat.

Don was going to be gone during most of the week-end, so Jake got to open a couple more presents early in the morning so his dad could see... Jake was more than happy to oblige :) It was a Star Wars type of morning.

Jake got visits from both sets of his grandparents that afternoon. My parents made it into town just in time to meet us at the school for pick-up, which made Jake smile from ear to ear. A little while later, Don's parents came by for more fun and presents.

Jake wanted pictures with everyone, including one of "just the guys" since we had already snapped a photo of him and his grandmothers.

Pokemon was the theme of the afternoon, and before Grammy and Grandaddy left, Jake had acquired several new Pokemon action figures and got to blow out his candles on his PokeBall Cake.

The cake was a big decision for Jake. For the last 4 years, it has been all Star Wars lightsabors, in a variety of colors - green, blue,and double Darth Maul red, and Jake had a hard time deciding what he wanted this year. But Thursday he finally declared he wanted a Pokeball cake and he was pretty excited to see it when he came home from school on Friday. He did think the only thing that would have made it cooler is if there were real Pokemon figures in the middle of the cake. Crazy kid.

After cake it was time to switch gears again for his last present. For a long time Jake has been eyeing the Lego Pirates of the Caribbean Wii video game. He loves jumping around to the "He's a Pirate" song and playing pirates. So for his big gift, he got the game. I also found several fun pirate things at the dollar store and I stained a wooden treasure chest I found at Hobby Lobby. It was a huge hit and our house has been filled with pirates all week-end long. Even Luke is walking around with a telescope and compass saying "Arrgh".

After all the excitement of the day wound down, Jake found time to snuggle for a story with Grandpa before bedtime.
Jake is a fun loving-kid who squeezes absolute most out of each day. He has an unique enthusiasm for life and is a very passionate person. Jake adds such a element of fun and excitement to our house. It was so great to celebrate Jake this week-end.
Happy Birthday Jake! We love you!!
