Birthday Boy (one month late)

Jacob turned 1-year old on December 24.  We had a small party with Grandma & Grandpa Gatherum, Grandma Peterson, Brett, Kurt, and Amanda.  We would have loved to have more family there, but because he was born on such a busy day we didn't want to disrupt everyone's Christmas Eve celebrations.  We had a great time eating dinner, opening presents, and, of course, watching Jacob eat his birthday cake.  Probably the best part of the night was when Jacob opened a gift from Grandma and Grandpa G only to find ladies Sunday shoes instead of a pair of snow boots.  My mom had accidentally grabbed her shoes instead of Jacob's boots.  In all fairness, the gifts were already wrapped.  I guess that is one of the hazards of having a Christmas Eve birthday.  

We are so happy to have Jacob in our family. He has been such a happy boy and always makes us smile.  He is a huge flirt and charms everyone he meets.  

Opening presents.  Jacob wasn't really interested but he loved the attention.

Grandma's shoes instead of boots.  Jacob actually played longer with these shoes than any of the other presents.

I love cake!  The frosting was colored whipped cream and Jacob loved it!
