2nd Birthday Bash

Jake had his 2nd birthday party this Saturday and we HAD A BLAST!  It was a Mickey Mouse theme and all the mousekateers had a good time.  This Mouseka-Momma is WORN OUT!

We started off the weekend on Friday afternoon when Greg got in from Omaha. Greg and I gave Jake his gift from us --- a John Deere gator!  He LOVED it…as any little boy would!

About an hour later, my parents and Hunter arrived to help us celebrate. We had a little birthday celebration at home Friday night, including some pizza and cake!  This was Jake’s first experience with candles, and in my Mommy mind, I thought --- we’ll practice for the big party! Well, turns out, telling Jake to get real close and blow out the candles might have been a bad idea. Somehow he got TOO CLOSE and burnt his little nose hairs.  Poor guy! Here are the play-by-play pics!

The birthday celebration started around 10 am on Saturday; and once again, I was reminded of how blessed we are. So many friends and family showed up to help Jake celebrate his 2nd birthday. I tried to capture everyone on film, but just wasn’t able to get everyone.  We had the party at church at the Family Life Center, and turns out – it was a great location. Plenty of room, lots of toys and happy kiddos!  Thank you to all our friends, family and loved ones who spent their Saturday morning with our sweet boy!  What a great feeling….

Happy 2nd Birthday, Jake! We love you more each day!
