Jakob's first birthday party was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who was able to make it and help us celebrate Jakob's first year. We are so lucky to have so much love and support in our lives, and Jakob had such a great time seeing everyone. People were incredibly generous with their gifts, and Jakob repaid their kindness with a hilarious show of frosting consumption. Special thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Janelle for graciously hosting and assisting in the party prepping. (My apologies for the extremely long post. If you can believe it, this is only a fraction of the pictures I took!)
