We celebrated Jacob's 9th Birthday Sunday. We had Hillbilly BBQ, coleslaw, baked beans, 7 layer dip, eggplant dip, and cream cheese with pepper jelly, and a Coldstone Creamery cake with Jacob's favorite ice cream, Oreo Overload. There was plenty of food! It was a good turnout and my little house held up nicely with all those extra people! It helped that it was a nice day outside and the kids spent most of it outside. Katie gave Jacob a movable garden that he absolutely loved. He planted flowers (don't know what kind!) and some broccoli. He said since he's growing it, he'd eat it...maybe! My sister gave him a Snuggie. When I suggested it to her, she balked. I told her he's been begging me for one for a long time now and he loved it. He's laying in my bed with it right now, watching a movie! He has requested spinach quiche for his birthday dinner so I'm making that tonight since he has an early football practice tomorrow. Both boys are playing football this year and it's killing us. We're at the park 4-5 nights a week. Phil is set to open his next restaurant in Hammond next week so he's been very busy with that. He's expecting big things for this restaurant so keep your fingers crossed for us!
Here's some pictures from today. Jacob and David posed for a picture, since they share the same birthday and the same middle name!

Jacob's birthday was actually yesterday, the same day as David's!
Your house accommodated us very well. All those Saints fans in one place... The babies look so cute in their attire. You do wonders with space, Christina.
I am glad that was Jacob's favorite cake. I will get one for Thanksgiving. I loved it too.
That's a great picture of David and Jacob. Really, they're all good. Love the one of the cousins all together around Jacob. Julia was working on me to get there. I couldn't move any faster than that to get there on time. Noon is way too early for me to be anywhere on a Sunday.
For Jacob... and many more, Dear. Broccoli is delicious and so good for you. Eat it raw. You'll like it better that way.
All of the pictures are good and I'm glad you put them here and not just on the foolishness (FB)! I love Jude's curly hair. So cute.
Yeah, I guess he's taking after Jacob with that hair. Only, Jacob's hair isn't that curly when it's not hot, it's more just scraggly. We'll see what Jude's does.
These were just beautiful pictures. It's hard to single out which one is better than another, but I especially liked the birthday boys. And the expression on Jacob's face (and yours too) when trying on the Snuggie. Priceless.
