last night was baby jacob's FIRST birthday party.
i LOVE getting together with my extended family because no matter what kind of day you may be having, what troubles are racking your mind...you get into a room with these people and you are instantly overwhelmed and happy.
two good things.
the overwhelmed feeling might come from the fact that we are all kinda loud people. i prefer to call it enthusiastic for life, thank you very much.
envision the opening sequence of home alone, modernize it a bit and you have a night with us.
my brother and i kept joking last night that one of the chil'ens was gonna get left behind.
the happy part comes from the fact that we are all...well...happy.
in an atmosphere of love and laughter
it is kind of hard not to be.
duh.
here are a few snapshots of the evening courtesy of my 5 year old cousin who hijacked the camera.
she did well, minus a few tops of heads being cut off...
he is my favorite. we are like best friends.
she is such a princess in training and I. LOVE. IT.
seriously, spend a night with this one and you feel like the most important person alive.
our little birthday boy.
just before the cake devouring began.
did i mention our family is full of multi-taskers?!?!
because we are...please just look at everything happening outside of present opening.
our gift.
i guess he might have liked it :)
elmo and jacob singing.
don't let him tell you any different, dad was a big fan of the elephant machine.
i think him and grant played with it for an hour straight.
he just melts my heart.
love. love. love.
xoxo.

Family gatherings are the best. To me, the louder the better.
