Happy Birthday Jacob!

Jacob turned 7 yesterday and was excited to get up and eat his requested breakfast - waffles with strawberry syrup and cream (thanks for the recipe Kara, it was delicious - karascookingcreations.blogspot.com) Jared took the day off and we got Jacob some pegs for his bike. That was a lot more affordable then getting the "bike with pegs" he's been asking for the last couple of weeks. That reminds me of a little incident that happened a few days ago.
Jacob and Dan decided they were going to "trick" Santa. They wrote a letter to Santa a couple of days ago that said, "Santa, we forgot to ask for a bike with pegs. Jacob & Daniel." Daniel was pretty excited to announce to his dad that they were going to trick Santa into believing that they just "forgot" to add the pegs to last year's list. I think they thought Santa delivers anytime of year and that he might seriously believe them, even though they didn't even know what pegs were last Christmas time. We of course had Jared take the letter to mail it from work...because that mail has a faster delivery time then putting in our mail dropbox:). We also had a little talk about honesty and deceit - even if you trick Santa, Heavenly Father always knows the truth.

Jacob also had fun making the volcano that his grandparents gave him. His love for science was spurred a couple of years ago when he did his first science fair project with baking soda and vinegar.
