Jake's Birthday Party

My cute little guy is two! He turned two in September and I'm only now getting to actually posting the pictures. We were surrounded by lots of people that love my little baby so much!

I couldn't bear to cut out very many pictures, therefore I have created many collages for your enjoyment where you can view smaller pictures of all the wonderful things I want to show you:)

First, I was motivated by the extravagant birthday party that Ty threw for me, so I decided to go all out! I debated between basketball and Old MacDonald's Farm for the theme, since those are Jake's two favorite things. MacDonald won out because I figured basketball would probably be an acceptable theme for a birthday party in later years. I did, however, throw him a mini basketball birthday party at his school, but that's for another post. We served "chicken wings" (buffalo wings), "haystacks" (pretzels), "little piggies" (hot dogs) and other fun festive food.
We played lots of fun games.
Pin the Hat on the Cow!
Check out the middle pictures. Jake figured out how to beat the system. Duh, you just lift the blindfold up so you can see.
Duck, Duck, Goose!
Puzzles!
UNO Moo!
Haystack Treasure Search!
Note to self: Many people are allergic to hay.
The cake may look simple, but it took me FOREVER.
Our best attempt at getting a picture of all the cousins together.
Our loved ones were all there to share Jake's special day...if only I could've done a better job at taking pictures of all of them...
I dropped my rubber duck!
I think I can reach it!
Jake and his corn again:)
Just having fun.
Make a Wish!
And of course, TONS of awesome gifts. Jake is one spoiled (and loved) kid!
Thanks to both of our families for all of the wonderful support you give to us. We cherish these wonderful times together. Our kids know that they are loved.
