The Birthday Party

Another birthday party has come and gone. Saturday Jacob celebrated his birthday with friends and family, despite missing granparents. :(( He will not turn 6 years old until December 23rd, but we have always celebrated with everyone a little early since we figure a few people might be busy that day each year.

He has been so into horses - horse books, horse riding lessons, watching Cisco Kid - that he had asked for a horse themed party. And so it was. I made the cake the night before. Devil's Food with chocolate buttercream. As I was decorating, he told me, "I like this cake and the icing. I think it is a good cake. I think everyone will like it." Oh, yes. And some of us a little too much! Who? Me???? We had horse games and grilled burgers and hot dogs. I think Jacob really enjoyed himself.

As for me. I was pooped, but so enjoyed my little (?) boy have fun. I can't believe it has been almost 6 years and 6 birthday parties later. Time really does fly by.

P.S. I am having trouble uploading photos, but will as soon as possible!

Sounds wonderful! I think it's so sweet that both of us were having birthday parties for our children on Saturday. I can't wait to see pictures!!!

P.S. I loved your story about Jacob's Hobby Lobby "collection". I read it right after you posted and then somehow got distracted and forgot to go back to comment...sorry!
