Birthday Boy --2nd Post

Here are a couple more blasts from the past. What a cutie!

So, Jake woke up to presents on his birthday. It was fun to start the day out with presents so he could enjoy them all day. He sang a birthday song to himself (posted below). He LOVED the swords and playdough from Grammy and Papa Crane. At night, we were watching our friends' kids and had another friend of Jake's over to help us eat his monstrous cake. I was too lazy to plan a big party, although he would've liked it. The way it worked out was just perfect for him. Special, no effort on my part (besides making the cake), and not overwhelming. 
Jake, Hallie, and Abby livin' it up. Did any of them finish their cake? Nope, but they were happy!
The skateboard cake. It was a lot bigger than I pictured it, so I had to make it on a rubbermade container lid. Nice.
Playing after cake. 
Jake's birthday song. And yes, we threw in the carseat as a present...beefed it up a bit, right?

Holy cow that cake was HUGE!! Good job! Happy B day to Jake too. He is a really really cute little boy. I love the birthday song...how cute it that! Ben served his mission in Chile do you know what misson Michelle is in? We went back to Chile a couple of years ago to visit is was awesome. That is awesome that Lisa is at Paul Michele i bet she loves it! No we do our loans through Sallie Mae i should look into the one that you guys use though to see how the rates compare.
