I've heard from people with birthdays close to major holidays that they hate how jipped they feel when it comes to celebrations. Stories of how their Christmas presents doubled as their birthday present as well. That doesn't sit well with me. I want Jake to feel special on his special day no matter when it is. We did however push his party a couple weeks into January to give our guest (and ourselves) a little break after Christmas. Almost half of our guests typically travel two or more hours to see us. It's something people have to prepare for.
When Jacob's big day did arrive and he woke up a big one year old, we tried our best to make it a special day! We had breakfast waffles, complete with a candle. After breakfast we all drove to Pismo Beach dunes. Our friends Anna and Jeremy were camping there and invited us out. The boys played in the sand, and in their great big trailer. It was so much fun, minus the having to drive through a river and getting stuck in the sand...twice thing.
When our beach adventure ended and we made it home Jake had his very own and first birthday cake! He loved it!
