An Out-of-this-World Birthday Adventure!

Happy 5th Birthday Jacob!!!

On Saturday we celebrated Jacob turning 5 with a space themed party. Nana Jill & Grandpa Ron flew in from Florida, Grandma Tilla & Papa Chuck drove down from Pine, and we had some of Jacob's friends over too. There were straw rockets, swimming, rocket pinata, pizza, presents, and cake!

Thank you to all for helping us celebrate Jacob's special day.

The cake

Thank you Nana Jill for all your help with the cake. I know it was a big undertaking this year trying out fondant, but I greatly enjoyed working on it with you. We'll go simple for Mila's 1st cake :)

the rocket ship pinata

Jacob weakened a wing, then Owen blasted it apart :)
Those things are tough to break open!

was impressed with Tamsin's jumping skills

so excited he got a real telescope :)

can't believe I have a 5 year old! still remember holding him for the first time; time is going by too quickly.
