Jacob LOVES Super Mario and everything to do with this fun game - so we had to give him a Mario party. This was the first party we have had - where we invited other kids besides family. There were 12 kids invited - from daycare, church/community group, Jim's work, and cousins. Here are the boys in the kitchen before the party - with some of the decorations - and Jacob is in his Mario PJs.
The cupcakes were decorated like the mushrooms from the game - along with white M&Ms for the dots. Jacob looking intently at it as we began singing to him.
Blowing with all his might to extinguish the one candle.
We got a bounce house for the event - along with playing some games. Jim made PVC blow guns to shoot marshmallows at the evil Mario figures attached to plastic cups. We also had a "yoshi" egg hunt with gold coins inside (which we are still finding around the house!). Jacob got some great gifts - here he is with his guitar. He loves playing it - and making up songs.
Singing another song - for my listening pleasure.
He got Old Navy clothes from his aunt and uncle in Texas. He looks great in them. Although when he opened the gift, he was less than excited about clothes. I guess clothing at this age is kinda a present for the parents :).
Last year, Jim and I put together all of the legos that Jacob received for Christmas - and then Jacob would play with them until they busted apart. This year - he got some legos for his birthday - and he actually put most of it together himself. Our lil boy is growing up!
