Jared's 9th Birthday

Crazy kid, decorated his own cake with a whole jar of sprinkles.  Each bit was very crunchy, but colorful!
I'm not sure what he wished for this year, but the look on his face leads me to believe it's something really exciting.
Of course, dad had to get in the birthday spanks.
We knew he was really just wanting money to buy a big item, but Corey wanted to conceal it in a special way.  So he rolled up the bills and shoved them into the battery compartment of the yellow flashlight.  Jared thought all he got from us was a flashlight.  This went on for about 20 minutes, then Corey asked him to come shine his light outside.  Once Jared discovered it didn't work, he ran back inside to get batteries for it.  To his surprise, there was the money.  He was so excited.  He's put all the money gifts together and has had quite the time trying to decide what to buy.  Finally, he asked me to just put all the money in his savings account.  He's my saver.  He has a really hard time parting with money.
