Jake's birthday party turned out to be a success despite the dreary rainy morning that we started out with. We arrived about 10:30 am and got soaked from carrying all the decorations, food and presents from the car to the picnic shelter. But, as all the guest began to arrive, the rain stopped, the clouds parted, and the sun began to shine!!!

Jake had lots of friends and family arrive, and they brought more toys and gifts than one child should ever know what to do with! Being new at this, I bought way too many Elmo balloons!!! We sent each child home with at least one balloon (some got two and three!!). All in all, Jake had a wonderful time and that's what it's all about!

Here's a great picture of Jake with his Daddy!

Happy 2nd Birthday Jake!!!! We Love You!!!
