Birthday Parties

Nope, not a type-o.  Jacob got to have 3 birthday parties this year.  To clarify - they didn't all include presents - but they did all include candles and song - so they all count!!  And when you're 4 years old it's quite all right to have three parties.  When you're 34 years old it's OK to have three parties too.  (Just less likely to happen.) 

The first party with our cousins D & C and their son A.  A and Jacob have become quite good friends - neither have a "real" brother, so they just kind of  fill that place for each other.  Unfortunately, we don't live close to them so we don't get to see them as often as we would like.  But we enjoy every minute with them when we do get together.
Aren't these 2 boys cuties!!


Tuesday night Jacob got to have his friend Justin spend the night with him.  His first time to have a friend stay overnight with him.  The boys had a ball!  They decided they wanted their faces painted and I was elected "official painter".  When it comes to painting/drawing I'm not much better than the 4 year olds.  But they didn't care - they just thought they were some kind of cool with paint on their faces!


Jacob's actual birthday was on Wednesday so we had cake and ice cream after our Bible study.  THE Kristen (that would NOT be me) made a special tiger cake for Jacob.  She's cool like that.  She made his beach ball cake last year.  She's cool like that.  She's moving later this month.  She's NOT cool like that!

Third party - with Papa, Nana, Trace, Trevin, Scooter, & Aunt Lesha
What's a birthday without grandparents/cousins??  According to Papa (my Dad) his grand kids haven't REALLY had a birthday until they've had cake with him.  The grand kids don't argue.
More pictures coming later from the weekend.  (Aren't you just sooo glad!)

Only time will tell, what does four have in store? 
(yes, I made that up myself; yes, you can roll your eyes if you wish but I thought it was pretty clever)
