Four Years Old!!!

Yesterday was our Little Man's 4th birthday! What a wonderful day we had. We started the morning off with the "Happy Birthday" song, which we had to stop and start a little softer since we, 'hurt' his ears with our rousing chorus! Then we opened a present and ate some yummy pancakes for breakfast. After that we made preparations for the party we had in the afternoon with a few friends.

Good Morning 4 year old!

It was a Thomas the Train party and here is the cute cake, chocolate of course!!

Hey guys. I can't believe that Joshua is four. Wow. He is so cute and it is just awesome to see the blessing that he is.

LOVE the photo of Joshua cutting those eyes over at Erin! What a little guy you have ;-)

Thanks for taking time to share birthday pix with everyone. I can't believe how much Joshua has grown, just since mid-summer.

Give the birthday boy a HUG for me!
Much LOVE,
Pat
