It seems so unreal that an entire year has gone by! A year ago we were welcoming a new little baby into our family, and now we can't even imagine life without him! He's just bursting with personality these days and keeps us all laughing. He messes up all his sibling's games, knocks over their towers, empties every cupboard and drawer in the house, and loves to cause trouble; yet words can't even describe how much we all love him! We had a great time celebrating his birthday.
Grandma and Grandpa Hatfield were able to make a quick trip up to spend a few days and join in the birthday festivities. Ashley and family were also at the party. Having family around makes everything so much more fun!!
I love 1st birthdays and watching them get to dig into their cake, so I let my kids play in their cake a little longer than is probably necessary. They're so cute, covered in cake and frosting! So, here's a lot of pictures of our little Jacob and his cake.
Jacob loved his presents even before he opened them.

Opening his gift from Mackayla and Bradley. They made him a bucket of bean bags. To their delight, he LOVES playing with them.
Enjoying his birthday dinner.
As we were getting seated for dinner, Bradley stripped down to his underwear (and actually the underwear was going to come off too if he had been allowed) because he said he didn't want to get his clothes messy. It turns out it was a good idea.
Bradley didn't want to be in this picture, but he and Mackayla were pretending to be birthday decorations and then jumping out and scaring people. It was very tricky!

Grandpa and Grandma Hatfield. They were so much fun to have here, and we miss them already!
Bradley always has his sword on him.
Jacob was trying so hard the other day to pick up this watermelon.
This was at the Dinosaur Muesum at Thanksgiving point. Don't worry, we did get away before the shark got us.

Loved the pictures, loved the birthday party and loved our whole stay at your house! The after cake pictures of Jacob looks like he might have been injured(you know, blood!) but it didn't look that way in real life. We had so much fun with all of you -- thanks for letting us come!
Cute cake Melissa! It turned out great. Can't believe he's already one either. Yikes!
Happy Birthday, Jacob! He sure is a sweet little guy. I love Bradley's sword-in-underwear look, and also his pose with Grandma and Grandpa - funny kid!
Happy Birthday Jacob. He is such a cute boy. He was covered with frosting! Bradley is cute in his underwear! Mackayla's hair was cute crimped.
Good job on the cake! It turned out almost as cute as Jacob did after he was done eating it.
What a GREAT 1st Birthday!!! It looks like he had an awesome time :)
& Happy first day of school!
& Glad you made it to Thanksgiving Point. We finally did the day before school started, one last bit of fun. We have the shark picture too, but I'm super slow with the blog these days!
