Birthday Fun

Seamus, our elf, got in on the birthday fun and draped ribbon on the kitchen light!

Presents ready to be opened!

So excited!!!

Mommy and daddy got Jacob a nabi 2 tablet and Jonah bought him a Galaxy Squad Lego set.

Since Jacob doesn't eat cake or cupcakes, we sang Happy Birthday to You and he blew out six candles on a chocolate donut!

Sweet brothers ready for a yummy lunch!

Jacob wanted to eat Mexican food at Dos Charros for his birthday lunch.  Our favorite restaurant, Los Charros, recently closed but was owned by the same people as Dos Charros and it's practically the same food.

Jonah was excited to chow down on some yummy tortilla chips!
We celebrated Jacob's actual birthday in a pretty low key day.  The weekend prior was his birthday party and Christmas celebration with the Cox family, so we kept this weekend pretty quiet.  We are also pretty worn out with the end of school and enjoyed lots of family time at home!
Sunday morning was quiet and relaxed, complete with donuts and naps!  We went to lunch and then came home, got cozy and played and played.  Jacob kept saying that it was the best day ever and I never knew it was so easy to please a six year old!
It was wonderful to have some quiet time together before the excitement of Christmas.  Jacob's birthday definitely makes us slow down amidst the holiday hubbub and focus on our family of four!
