Eight

Jaycob turned eight this past week. He is getting so big. For his birthday party we invited his friends to Nickel Mania. It was such a blast they all had a ball and it was so nice to have someone else put a lot of it together for me. Jaycob

Erek was the big kid in the group. He got so excited to play the games, he used most of Isabella's nickels. But he won hundreds of tickets that we let the kids get treats and prizes with.

This is Nathan, he was so funny. Once he found Star Wars, he wasn't moving. He was nice to stop to let the other kids have a turn but he was seriously addicted to Star Wars game. He spent all 40 nickels on this one game.

On Friday, I took cookies to Jaycob's class for his Birthday treat. It was really fun. He has had a bunch of the same kids in his class for the last 3 years and so it is always fun to get hugs from all of them. They loved seeing Isabella too, Jaycob was very proud to show her off to everyone.

On your birthday you have to put on this silly hat and stand in front of everyone while the class sings happy birthday in English and Spanish. It is quite fun. This is the class all jumping in for a group picture around Jaycob and Isabella.
