This year's birthdays for Maggie and Jacob turned out to be quite memorable. I guess God was shining down on them. Jacob's favorite thing right now is football, and more specifically, MTSU football (I have no idea how that happened). We are a football- watching family and have been taking the kids to MTSU games since Maggie was 1. This year, the opening game was on 9/2/10, Jacob's 5th birthday. They had game day t- shirts made, and of course Jacob was sporting his.
I contacted someone in the marketing department at MTSU the day of the game about getting his name on the jumbotron but they said it was too late being game day. The guy said what he could do is send the cheerleaders up to the stands where we are sitting to wish him a happy birthday. He gave me is cell number and asked me to text him where we were sitting and he would let me know when the cheerleaders would be heading our way.
Our church was also tailgating before the game so we got there early so we could hang out with all our friends. They had bounce houses which is one of Jacob's other favorite things to do. Plus they were giving out nerds on a rope (his favorite candy). So he totally must have thought this was the best day of his life. Earlier that day I took football cupcakes to his class and they sang him happy birthday. Jacob is very sensitive and sometimes gets overcome with emotion. When I hugged him at school, I think he really wanted to cry. He was so happy.
We then went to the Hiwassee river the next day to go camping and spend time with Rick's family. On Saturday we had a little party for Maggie and Jacob and got to spend time with cousins, aunts and uncles.
This is a picture of all the cousins and friends who were there at the party
Then, on Maggie's birthday, Chick Fil A (my new favorite restaurant) was having Princess Day. Little girls could come dressed in all their princess gear and have a carriage ride, meet Miss Tennessee, Mary Kay consultants were there to put blush and lip gloss on the girls, AND their meal was free!!
