Jacob is 10 - Wow!

Jacob said he couldn't sleep the whole night before his birthday because he couldn't wait for us to wake him up singing happy birthday with presents in tow. This has been our family tradition since I was a kid. Our kids love starting their birthday day off this way too.
He was super excited when he opened our gift, a gift certificate to game Xchange where he could buy a Wii game that he has wanted for months. I caught him right when he was saying...."you guys got it"This picture just makes me laugh. After playing with his friends, getting all hyped up, we had cake and ice cream. Jacob was yelling, "sing to me, sing to me...." reminiscent of the phantom of the opera.....still cracks me up. All of the boys at the party are from Jacobs cub scout pack. One of their favorite cheers is the superman cheer..."is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's a bird"....and they splat their hand on their head pretending its bird poop! So they started making cheers about the cupcakes, which is what Jacob requested over a cake, unfortunately one ended up all over Jacobs face.
They were crazy, loud and hilarious. I think they all had a great time.
