Happy # 6 Jake

We like winter birthdays at our house.   Jake had a fun day the night before he had a complete melt down and wanted no presents, no party, he wasn't going to school, and he didn't want cake.

From the pictures you can see that a good nights sleep helped him have a change of heart.   School was fun for him we took the baby kittens to school.  (which caused his teacher grief  because she is allergic to them.)  Then we went back to read the class his favorite book.  We had a hard time deciding which book to take because he loves to read and learn.  Then we passed out treats.   The fun was just getting started at this point.
Uncle Dusty and Grandma Barnhurst made the cake which was a barn with farm animals and soccer ball cupcakes.

We had a huge party with family and friends and a special visitor.   Dan and I had no idea we were having a special guest.   You can see from his face that it was a fun surprise.   We sang songs and all of the kids got to sit on his lap.  He gave Jake a present that had two ornaments for his tree and a special note that said that kids who have a birthday in December hold a special place in his heart.   Thanks Santa for coming and making Jakes evening special.  

Jake is very special to our family and we are glad he gave us one more reason to enjoy the Christmas season!
