Happy Birthday Josh!

Josh turned 4 today.  I can't believe it.  Four years ago my water broke at 4:00 am and Tony rushed home from work to take me to the hospital.  We dropped off Tyler at Tony's parents house and then off we went to have a baby.  Josh joined us at about 12:30 pm and our lives have never been the same.
Josh was so excited for his birthday to be here.  We went to the boys soccer games in the morning and then picked up some lunch before we headed home.  After we ate Tony put Megan down for her nap while I got ready for the party.  I frosted the cake and cupcakes and then decorated them with m&m's.
Our families got here about 3:00 pm and the kids immediately all went outside to play.  My kids love their cousins and really can not get enough of them.  After chatting for a while I asked Josh if he wanted to play more, eat cake and ice cream, or open presents.  He automatically said open presents.  So we called in all the kids and Josh opened up his presents.  He loved all the things that he received and loved having all the attention on him.
Then it was cake and ice cream time.  The kids played and the adults chatted some more.  It was nice being with family and just relaxing.  The kids had so much fun playing with some of Josh's new toys and the toys down stairs.  I love it when all the kids play so well together.
After the party Margie took us all out to dinner for Josh's birthday dinner.  We went to IHOP and had a good dinner.  After dinner Tony took Megan and Koda for a walk while I bathed the boys and put them to bed.  It has been a great day and I think that Josh had a great birthday.  We love our Joshua so much and feel so lucky that he is in our family.
