Jake Grew Up!

Today (the 12th) -- Jake turned 18.

Jake getting ready to open presents while I "help" by taking a selfie.

Teddy wants to help, and Derek is getting a peak under the jacket hood.

More slow unwrapping.  Jake likes to open presents slowly and torture the crowd.

Jake's great smile and Derek helping hold up his gifts.

And again -- only only Derek's hands are in the picture.

And now who is the gift?  Kayli!!!!

Jake is great!  He has a great smile, is a thoughtful, skilled helper, and is the designated spider smasher downstairs.  If Kayli needs a spider "taken care of" or something fixed -- she calls Jake.  I can't believe how fast 18 years went by and now all but Dan are taller than me -- and I'm sure he'll get there too!
