Josh's Birthday

The kids are always playing "party" or "decorating" something or other so they get pretty excited when there actually is something real to celebrate.  We picked a Saturday to celebrate Josh's birthday since we were flying home from our flight fiasco on his birthday, and the kids went all out.  They wanted to make a banner, they told me exactly what they wanted it to say ("we all love you very much"), Shane wrote the words in pencil and Marissa tried over them with marker.

 Sadie of course wanted to be doing what the big kids were doing,

 and I thought it was so cute when I was taping their signs up she kept bringing me hers to put up (it's down below)

 Of course making/eating cake is one of the best parts of a birthday:)

 We went to the Home Depot kids' workshop that morning, and Shane thought we were soooo sneaky when we said we had to go to the bathroom and picked out a present for dad.

That night we went to Red Robin- we got there before 5:30 and the wait was over an hour- typical Fort Wayne.  But we waited it out,

 with a trip to the carousel thrown in there

and had a great night together.  We are sure glad Josh was born!
