Isn't he a great cheeser? Jace still lets me do flag cakes for his birthday. This year, I did a fruit pizza, too. Yummy.He wanted a pool party, just as I was hoping, since we are members of this great pool around the corner from our house.
Jace has gained many immediate friends here. There are 3 other ten year olds on our street who have welcomed him right in and they are almost inseparable. He also invited friends from his primary class in church. We had their families come, too - we hadn't even met them yet!
They played Watermelon Relay, where two teams see who can get the watermelon across first. By the looks of it, Jace is getting beat by a girl HOWEVER he assures me that his team was 3 people ahead of them and were actually winning. 
Jace lights the candlesHappy Birthday to you...
I'm impressed with Jace's friend-making skills. Not bad for his first month in MO!We are so grateful for our Dandy Jace! (Yankee Doodle, that is) (sorry, couldn't resist)
