Jake's Birthday Parties

Very excited to be posing with Chuck.  Paige hid under the table whenever he came around

This year, Jake was lucky to have two birthday parties.  Since he is a big fan of Chuck E. Cheese's, we decided to have a friends/cousins party there the weekend before his actual birthday.  He had a blast running around playing games.  He stopped only to eat a few of the pepperonis off his pizza (not the pizza itself, note), have a cupcake, and open presents.  I sat at the table to keep an eye on everything, so I missed out on watching the kids play games.  By the looks of how sweaty they were, I think it is safe to say they had a fun time!  Our camera stopped working while we were there, so the only pictures we caught were on our phones.  Jake and his friends had a blast, which was all that mattered.

Opening presents

The weekend after Jake's birthday, we had both sides of our family over for a party.  The whole week had been sunny and warm, but the day started off windy and cool.  We had been hoping to be able to eat outside, but ended up all eating inside.  I guess it paid off the spend the day before cleaning!  Jake enjoyed his presents and his cake.  He was able to show everyone the gift we gave him, a 4-wheeler. 

His Batman cake was a hit

The squeals they made while playing with the bubble maker were adorable!

We now have a 4 year old!
