11 Year Old in the House

My Guinea pig has turned 11. He will now teach me what to do with an 11 year old so I can know how to do it right for the other kids. 
We celebrated his Sunday no-funday birthday by going out to eat on Saturday night at Red Robin. 

Big holidays are one of the rare moments that Jacob lets me take pictures of him. Otherwise he will cover his face or turn and run away. 
Jacob picked out the mile high ice cream cake for dessert. They devoured it like wild animals who had been scavenging for food for days. I was afraid to get my spoon in there for fear that I would get nipped at. 
On Sunday we had presents and church in the morning. Jacob was happy with his loot despite the absence of his most wanted present..a mini iPad. We had some visits from grandparents and the primary president. And we ended the day with the best thing possible. Cake & ice cream. Some of us paid the price the next morning with a stomach ache from eating too much cake.
