Jacob's 9th Birthday

Today, my not so little boy turned 9 years old....his last birthday with a single digit number.

We celebrated with chocolate fudge cake, with dark chocolate fudge frosting, decorated with junior mints, chocolate sprinkles and a side of mint chocolate chip ice cream.

While I was frosting the cake, I kept thinking about how much my Dad would have enjoyed this cake...with a glass of milk of course. When Emily saw the cake she commented right away how much Papa would have loved this cake....we all know how much he loved his chocolate.

Jacob was thinking he only wanted us to give him money this year, but I couldn't quite bring myself to only putting money in a card...so he got one present and a card with a some cash.

A little cash....

and a R2-D2 remote control thankfully brought smiles to his face.

The dogs were taking all the love they could get from their Nana....it was hot today and some pregnant lady that lives in the house wouldn't let them sit on her lap today.

Some clothes and some more cash from Nana brought some more smiles to this little man who is already planning his next trip to Target.

Happy 9th Birthday Jacob.....we love you!!!
