Happy birthday baby!

Jake's birthday officially is Monday, Oct. 26, 2009, but we celebrated a day early with family who came to town for the occasion. Besides, by the time the pizza was on the plates and the cake was cut it was the 26th in China.

Good pal Elmo showed up:

Here comes the cake!



No help needed with these candles (thanks, cleft team)



Good cake:
