Papa and Mima Visit

Allan's parents came to visit this last weekend so Jacob got to extend his birthday celebration a little longer. They gave him one of the highlights of his birthday, his very own basketball goal. He has shot a hundred or more baskets over the last few days. It is SO fun to play with him and watch him play. He is actually pretty good.


His "Kavalich" extended family sent along a present as well. Trucks are another favorite of Jacob right now. He is ALL boy! Thank you Solovjev and Lewis families!

Allan and Gig (aka Mima and Papa) are always so sweet to give a fun gift and sentimental gifts for every birthday. I love the box tradition, they give the kids a Halcyon Day box for every birthday and this year Jacob got one with a choo choo on it which he was super excited about. Gig also gives the kids lots of books with special notes in each one. We have been reading his Five Little Monkeys book every day a time or two or three. Thank you Mima and Papa for loving our kiddos so much!

We saved Mima's birthday gift until they got here, her birthday was earlier in the month. Claire and Gig had a deal that Claire would give her a puppy for her birthday and since Papa has said no to a real dog Claire decided to paint a puppy treasure box (with a little help) which we added a little bracelet to. I think it was a hit.
