What a blessing to have our home filled with wonderful friends as we celebrate Jacob's seventh birthday! For many years we prayed for friends (even just one!) that shared our values when it came to things like homeschooling and faith, and God has surely answered those prayers. Our home was filled with friends who have become family to us. Our cup surely runneth over!
The boys were all so excited to wear their costumes that Mama made. Jacob was, of course, "Moses". Joshua decided he'd be "Aaron". Joseph was "Joshua" (that's not confusing at all, right?) and James was "Caleb". :) They particularly liked their staffs, but little boys and sticks can tend to be a bit...shall we say...troubly?

The Golden Calf pinata was hilarious! We thought that thing would never break! It was adorable watching them each have a try. When it finally did break, there were bouncy balls everywhere!
Jacob loved the Mount Sinai cake. And he
really loved his name candles on top!
Actually cutting the cake turned out to be quite a challenge! It was messy, but we made it work.

Jacob was so excited that all of the gifts were learning related. Oh, how I love my serious child, and my wonderful friends who love and appreciate him!
I couldn't have asked for a better gathering. My heart is full beyond measure!
In His Name,
