Birthday weekend

Sunday was Jacob's birthday. To start out his birthday weekend on Friday night we had a campin (instead of a campout). We moved around the couches and TV so we could watch The Lion King from inside the sheet tent.
Rachel (and Jake) were excited for the new adventure.
Rachel sat 2 feet from the TV patiently waiting for us to come join her for the movie--she wouldn't give up her prime seating.
After the movie Jake read bedtime stories in the tent. So cute. :)
Rachel was the only one to brave the elements and stay in the tent over night (besides her stuffed animal friends). Jake and I wimped out and stuck to our cushy mattress.
Saturday was occupied with a couple church activities and some nice relaxation. Then Sunday we celebrated Jake's birthday. Rachel opened his presents for him (apparently he was taking too long when he spent more than 10 seconds looking at the first one).
After church we had some tasty shishkabobs and a delectable gluten-free "cake:" rice krispy treats (actually rice chex treats--rice krispies have gluten). Betty Crocker actually makes some gluten-free mixes, but Jake was more interested in rice krispies than cake, and as the birthday boy, what he says, goes.

Happy birthday, Jake! We love you lots and are very happy that you were born! Keep up the birthday-having for many years to come! :)
