The celebrations started the day before with family coming in from Dallas. There was pizza and games, and a fun cool swim at night in the hotel pool. Jake & Hayley stayed at the hotel with cousins while Alex stayed with us. Early the next morning we met back at the hotel for a special breakfast.
After breakfast it was back to the house for a quick change and get to the church at 8:30 am. Amazingly enough, we made it on time!
After a great morning at church, we all headed back to the house for lunch and present time. Jake may have a small thing for legos right now...particularly Ninjago Legos!
A fun birthday cake and lego candles to make a wish on...most likely wishing for more legos!
After cake and ice cream, we got ready for Jake's Baptism & were off to the church again. More on his baptism in a separate post. Let's just say, it is definitely great to be eight!
After the baptism, most of the family had to leave to go back to Dallas. Grammy and Grandaddy came over for a few moments before heading home. Jake had a great day.
A few fun things about Jake. His favorite color right now is blue. He absolutely loves pie, especially chess pie. For a special FHE for Jake about Baptism a few weeks ago,we had pie for dessert. He was in heaven. Jake loves legos, logic, math, planning and playing wii. He is reading the Harry Potter series and loves it. His other favorite thing to read right now is the Weird School Days series by Dan Gutman. Jake has a great imagination & always has the funniest speeches in the Impromptu Speech class I coach at school. I love to hear Jake laugh, his joy & zeal for life is infectious. He is also a great brother, always concerned about others, especially Luke. Jake adds spice to our family & we just love Jake!
Happy Birthday Jake!!
