Jake opens his gifts with Daddy's help.
Jake's cake - we had a Wall-E Theme, complete with life-size Wall-E!
Unfortunately for Jake, his second birthday was not an event anyone will want to remember. Although his party on Sunday was nice, it was overshadowed by other more signficant events that weekend! Our family spent Jake's 2nd birthday suffering with the stomach flu! It all started on Sat. when Jake got sick. We thought is was something he ate! Little did we know! Here he is, cute as can be, cuddled up on the couch. This was just the start to some unbelievable illness!
By Sunday night, Lisa, Mike, and Annika had also come down with the flu! It started with Lisa at 10:40 Sunday night. Mike followed at 11:30 and at 2:00 Annika was joining the fun. Mike and Annika slept downstairs in an attempt for at least one person to get some sleep. The theory was good... the reality was that none of us really slept that night. This is Annika asleep on the sofa Monday morning. Sleep was basically all Mike, Annika, or I did for that whole day!
Mom and Dad Dekker kindly took Abby, and Jake (who we thought was better) for the day so we could try to recover. They had a lovely morning at Mejier Gardens and then returned home so Jake could nap. It turns out Jake was still sick. He shared his germs with Grandma and Grandpa (we won't go into details) and they ended up getting sick by the end of the week! Oops! That wasn't supposed to happen! Sorry Mom and Dad!
Hopefully Jake's 3rd birthday will be a much happier (and healthier) occassion!

I think the same stomach flu just ravaged the Lexington Dekkers (Clara, Dan, and Greg.) I don't know how I managed to avoid contracting this lovely illness. But I did. Glad you're all back to normal!
