Happy Birthday Jacob

Last Friday, April 3rd, was Jacob's 8th birthday. I can't believe how old and how big he is. He was so excited all week long. On Friday he woke up early as he just couldn't wait to get to school. They said his name on the announcements, he got to get a treat from the treasure box, wear a birthday ribbon all day and have lunch with a friend. When he got home, there was a Happy Birthday balloon on the mailbox and a cake for that night. Then we headed to the airport to pick up Shane who had been in Mass. all week.



That night we had my parents, Shane's parents, Shane's sister Kelli and son Matthew over. We also had a good family friend (kind of like a little sister to Shane) DeeAnne and her baby Anthony over. We had bbq and cake and ice cream. Jacob got a Wii and a new BMX outfit and helmet from us. He got some Wii games from his grandparents. You can probably guess what we have been doing this weekend in our spare time, which there hasn't been much of. Here are some pics from that night:
