How easy for me was it to have Jacob’s birthday in Mexico???? So easy! I tried to make the day a big deal for him and really limited my time of reading. He woke up and opened his presents.
A catchers’ mitt and golf putter. Very exciting for him.
He played a lot of catch on the beach that day, well as long as the heat would allow. A few years ago while in Mexico my brothers arranged a treasure hunt for the kids, this is all Jacob wanted for his birthday. So while I placed all the clues and the treasure the kids and the Dad’s went to visit some sights in town (breaking rules #1 and #2 of mine).
All the kid, minus Alyssa who was napping.
Then the treasure hunt began. Chris had cast a secret message out on a fishing pole which Jacob happened to reel in.
They traipsed all over the compound looking for clues.
He even had to row out to sea and find a floating clue.
The fun continued until they found the X in the sand and unburied the treasure!
Cupcakes in the shape of a 10 finished off the night.
Not a typical birthday, but still lots of fun. Jonah asked if next year he can have his birthday in Mexico……not a bad idea!
My little Shakesy is 10! I can’t believe it. We all reminisced about how small he was when he was born, we thought he was the smallest baby we would ever see! He is loved by everyone. He is the most easy going and so easy to get along with child. He loves everyone and can adapt to whatever circumstance he is in. Whether playing with one of his 3 girl cousins that he truly loves being with, walking goats with his friend Luke, playing ball with one of his teams or having a water fight with Eli…he is happy wherever he is.
