Happy Birthday, Jake!!!!

December 28, 2008

Today we celebrated Jake's birthday. Tyler was pushing for a Transformers theme. You can see that he didn't get to blow out his candles by himself. Chan is ALWAYS willing to help. Of course, the trick candles gave them plenty of time.

A festive bunch!

Well, Jake. Here are pictures from both ends of the extreme.

Home safe and sound! Much relief to your parents and family. For those who can't read Russian, it says "Welcome Home."

I've always loved how you would spend time with your siblings...talking for hours, playing games, going to movies, dancing, and of course, Xbox!

It seems that when the family gets together, you can be found with a baby in your arms.

We've spent lots of time together as a family, and have made many memories. I hope you'll always remember the good times! Some of these pictures are from when Josh came home. I love those reunions! The others are California, Hawaii, and Zions.

I just wanted to wish Jake a very Happy Birthday! You're a great son, brother, uncle, friend, grandson, nephew, etc. I hope you accomplish great things next year. I have a lot of faith in you and know you can have and do whatever you put your mind to. Thanks for the times you ran me in and for all the babysitting, shopping, driving, etc. I know your brothers and sisters, and nieces and nephews love you very much and the little ones look up to you. Teach them good things!
Have a great birthday!!! We love you!!!
