Smiles all day long!

Today was Jacob's birthday, he turned 4 which is just unbelievable. He woke up around 5:30 and came into our room to ask us if he was 4 yet. It was adorable and from that point on he didn't stop smiling. He started his day with super yummy waffles with bananas. He then played until we took him away on a surprise trip. We went and saw 'How to Train Your Dragon' and loved it! It is definitely one of the best movies we have seen in a long time. At home we enjoyed a delicious dinner of grilled pork and pineapple! Super yummy followed up by an amazing 'cookie cake' called an ice box cake. It was amazing, so hopefully James will post that recipe for you later.

Then, for Jacob's favorite part he got to open presents. Michael made him an ABC book and bought treats for him to earn after he learns his letters. It was so sweet! Michael even drew pictures himself of things starting with that letter.

Joshua bought him the standard a hot wheels car and some bubbles.

We got him some sand toys with the promise of putting in a sand box for him tomorrow. This rain messed that one up a little but we'll get it in tomorrow and all will be well. Needless to say he is very excited! He also enjoyed the e-mail cards sent, so thank you! It was a great day and he was smiling super big all day long. I love the smiles on a happy little boy, thy just bring joy to your soul! Happy Birthday Jacob!

I just had to show our super small but super awesome sand box that we really did put in today. I'm proud of us for doing it! And he loves it! We may never see him again. ;)
