Jacob's Graduation

At the end of August we celebrated Jacob 20th birthday as he graduated into manhood. It was a special weekend celebrating with family and friends!
For everybody's 20th birthday we go to the William's Tavern Restaurant with family. 
Jacob Graham and Lance Graham (Grandpa Hellwig).
After dinner we had a special time of sharing about Jacob's life and giving encouragement. 
Have you ever seen a more cuter THREE?!
 The grandfathers shared some encouraging advice with Jacob...
Presents! He received a scrapbook of his life...
 ...a camo quilt...
 ...and a hand-forged axe.
(Can you tell the one he's most excited about? =) )
Grandpa's present was a locked strong box. He gave Jacob a twenty-dollar bill and told him he could have the key if he gave him the $20 back, or he could keep the $20 and give him back the box. :)
Jacob did not hesitate to hand the $20 back for the key! It was quite funny....and he was glad that he went with the box once he opened it!
The next day we had Jacob's Manhood Ceremony at our church (Mount Olive Baptist Church).
Jacob shared some things from Proverbs 3:1-10
A prayer of blessing from Dad and the grandfathers.
All the men signing the Manhood Pledge.
Afterwards we had a reception at the Willisville Community Center.

We displayed Jacob's presents he got the night before and also some of his taxidermy projects.
Visiting with family and friends.

Grandpa and Grandma.
