More Pics from Jake's Special Day

The kids helped make the cupcakes for Jake's school party. Jake liked dumping the ingredients in the bowl but Jadyn enjoyed attempting to stir it. And of course they both enjoyed a few licks off the beaters when I was done mixing the batter too!




Jake getting ready to open gifts from us pretty much the moment Joe stepped in the door after work the evening of his birthday:

Delighting at his new Monopoly Jr. game (it has a race track and car around the outskirts):

Someone recommended this really cool marble race after their son recieved it for Christmas. What an awesome find! I have not seen both kids play contently with the same toy for this long of a stretch in awhile and what is great is that while Joe or I have to build the "track" now, eventually Jake will be able to create his own tracks. Apparently his love of racing is not isolated to cars.

Jadyn and I while Joe grilled chicken for Jake's birthday dinner:

I would love to be able to promise you that there will be no more birthday pics for awhile BUT we have two birthday parties to attend this weekend - both Elmo themed and one of them to celebrate cousin Aidan's 2nd birthday. Then of course Jadyn has her big day coming up at the end of May so let the celebrating continue!
