Jacob Turns Four!!

Against our will, our boys are growing up. Our first baby turned four, and he is all hombre.

Jacob was naturally very excited about his birthday. As well as his hat. And plates. (He explicitly asked that these photos be taken.)

We had a fun celebration at his school with his amiguitos. The theme, selected by Jacob, was sharks.

We pinned the fin on the shark, “fished”, and ate various ocean-themed treats. And naturally, the cake was decorated with a fierce shark too. Timothy joined the big boy class to celebrate his “nano’s” day.

For our party at home, the boys were eager helpers, stuffing the pinata and checking out the party scene.

And for his party with his friends from the neighborhood, we… put a dead carcass on a hot fire. What better than a suckling pig to celebrate the day!

The boys were delighted, checking out their treat from all sides.

My handsome husband was naturally in charge of the grilling (I’m never allowed – happily – to be near the grill.) And it was delicious!

The kids enjoyed the clown, pinata, and whale cake, while the parents enjoyed a gorgeous day.

We had a great day with lots of dear friends, who we will soon miss sorely.

Happy birthday to our dear little boy!
