Jacob turned 10 years old earlier this month. We had a small birthday party for him at the house, and Jacob enjoyed playing with some of his birthday gifts.<\/p>\n

Thanks to everyone to recognized his birthday with nice gifts, and thanks to those who took time out of their busy schedules to celebrate with us earlier this month.<\/p>\n

And if you’re wondering, NO, I can’t believe I’m now the mother of a ten-year-old. I remember when I was just turning 10 years old, we had just moved into a new house in Norfolk, Va, and I walked 2\/3 of a mile in each direction to and from school, without parents, and with my Kindergarten-aged sister.<\/p>\n

Jacob wanted a Harry Potter-themed birthday party, but with an inflatable slip ‘n slide. It was definitely a hybrid experience. These are Golden Snitch cake pops. You’re right, I wouldn’t have thought that either upon first glance…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A close up of the completed Golden Snitch. Don’t laugh. The wings are made of gum paste.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We need a cake for the candles, right? The Gryffindor emblem was printed on cardstock and laminated with clear packing tape.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
We have really enjoyed having a backyard here large enough to bring in these big inflatables. We rented the tables and chairs for the AF Base.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
It was breezy and I had a hard time keeping the candles lit…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"<\/a>
Most of his gifts were LEGOs! Thanks everyone!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Jacob got cash from the Grandparents this year. He took the check from Grandma and Grandpa Fox and used to to buy a metal detector. He deposited Grammy and Grampy’s check in the bank and is waiting for a video game to come out to use it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
