Well. It happened. My oldest son, Jacob, turned 13 a couple of weeks ago. There is officially a teenager in the house. Look out! As tradition dictates, Jacob started out the day by making his own birthday cake.
He let Caleb help with the frosting...
And Caleb helped himself to a taste!
Jacob opted for no sprinkles...he is really growing up.
But he did ask for the special numbers to mark this momentous occasion.
The completed masterpiece.
We had lots of family in town for Jacob's big day...Jon's parents, two sisters and 6 children combined, one brother-in-law, along with my brother and sister-in-law. Jon's family arrived on Wednesday, but Aaron and Sera did not arrive until the day after Jacob's actual birthday. Jacob asked if we could wait until everyone was there to take him out for his birthday dinner. But I still wanted to do something special on his actual birthday. His request...jambalaya.
It was so yummy!
After dinner it was gift-opening time. Jacob has finally reached the card-with-money stage as opposed to actual presents.
Jacob had quite an audience...Clayton, Abbi, Caleb and Laura all watched with eager anticipation of what would fall out of each card.
Before too long, Clayton and Laura lost interest and entertained themselves in other ways.
And then...it was cake time!
I'm not quite sure what was so funny...I'm sure Craig or Jon instigated it.
Either way, I love these pictures of Jacob.
On the Saturday following Jacob's birthday, we had a very special surprise event for him. Please stay tuned...you won't want to miss it!
