Happy Birthday, Jake!

It feels like a sprint every year in December.

Isn't it enough to get ready for Christmas?
If these first 4 boys would have been born on their due dates,
their birthdays would have been December 2, 8 and 9!
So Matthew and Ryan came 3 weeks early, right before Thanksgiving.
And Jake was 5 days late, with his birthday landing on December 7.
So here I am on Christmas Day (the rush is over!) finally getting caught up!

Back on December 7, opening his presents:

Though he likes Special K protein bars, I was just using the box

 to disguise the game controller that he wanted!

Here he is with his Boston Creme pie and buddies
Logan and Isaac.

 

 Happy Birthday, Jake!
One more year and you're officially a teen-ager,
though we are seeing "signs" of it already!
