Jim's BIRTHDAY.

So, uh, Jim's birthday was what, two and a half weeks ago? Yeah. And I, procrastinating soul that I am, have yet to post pictures. Well, here, have some. Have a lot, even.


Jim doesn't know what's up, but he's excited anyway.


Jim dedicates himself to his task.


Joy and happiness, mostly due to paper-ripping.


Voila, a present.


Just imagine the "BRRRRRRRRMMM" noises.


Emmy is less good at sound effects than Jim.


Lo, another present! Jim brandishes it triumphantly.


Noah does not understand the packaging.


Jim attempts to follow instructions and wear it as a hat.


He also attempts to eat the camera.


Cake time! From-scratch yellow cake with lemon cream cheese frosting.


There was some debate about candle arrangement, but this is what we decided on. Jim blew them out better than some grown-ups I've seen.


Jim's preferred eating method: fork in one hand, food in the other.


Does he like it?


He does!


New shirt required post-cake. He looks like he could use a gold chain and a couple more buttons undone. Stay tuned for more pictures of Jim's OTHER presents.
