Jake's 1st Birthday (Take 2)

For Jake's birthday my mom and Gary flew in and our family friend Sally drove down from Boston. It was so great having family here for Jake's big day. Sally came when Jake was 3 days old, so it seems we have started a new tradition. We had such a great time and even though this first picture doesn't look like it, we had great weather!

This is what my backyard looked like the day my mom flew in. We got a huge snow storm the night before and I was worried that she wouldn't make it...but she did!

My mom got here Wednesday and we had a few days to hang out together. By Saturday everyone was here so we went to Peddler's Village to hang out.

Of course we only took pictures of Jake

On Sunday (Jake's Birthday!!) We went out to breakfast at this great restaurant in Lambertville, NJ. It is a cool little town full of art galleries and antique shops.

Mike took this and I love it!!!

For Jake's second birthday party we had a few of my friends over and Mike's parents. My mom made chicken pot pie and Sally and I made cupcakes

He loved them!

Then on to the presents

He got more great stuff!
Instruments and books and Grandpa got him some neat blocks

We had such a great weekend and I miss everyone so much already! Jake is a very blessed baby and we were so happy everyone was here!!

Jake's 1st Birthday Party

Jake was about to turn one and we needed to have a party! We invited the whole family over to Mike's parents' house and had cake and pizza.

He didn't like his hat much

I love this look!
