cousin bella's birthday...

bella's birthday party was yesterday and we had so much fun! i had to instruct the boys prior to going over there that the presents were bella's and they were not to help her with them. i had to give jacob several reminders of this once the opening began.
we got bella this really cute little stuffed animal that interacts with the tv (via dvd). we have a little lamby one and jack really loved it. in fact, we got one for gabbie when she turned one, and she was addicted to it, too. so i figured it would be a good gift!

it started out the right way...

just bella opening her own gift.

in comes jacob to "help"
he really likes to "help"then the rest of the "j" family swarms
and the birthday girl just scooted away from those freaky kids!

oh yeah...i forgot this little story. i happened to be changing jordyn's diaper when they sang to bella and presented the cake. but apparently jacob and jack came at the cake from both sides and blew out the candles before bella had a chance. who brought those stinkin' kids anyway?
