Happy 5th Birthday, Joshua!

Wow! Joshua turned 5 years old on Monday! We celebrated his birthday by going to Red Robin for dinner on Saturday. He ordered his usual Mac 'N' Cheese with apple slices. After we ate we had the waitresses and waiters sing to him. Joshua hid his face in Ryan's chest the whole time. Although he was embarrassed with all of the loud attention he was getting, he did have a huge grin plastered on his face through out the song. He was happy to get his ice cream sundae afterwards and refused to share any of it with his brothers.



Earlier in the day before all of our sport games we had gone to Toys R Us. Joshua got to pick out his very own bicycle. A bike is all he wanted for his birthday. Because daddy wouldn't be home on his birthday after Red Robin, Ryan assembled the bike and Joshua got to ride his bike a few days early. It was a beautiful day/night and the boys stayed outside riding their bikes until late in the evening.



Monday morning our birthday boy woke up and he requested green pancakes for his breakfast. After breakfast, he opened his gift from his brothers. He was delighted to discover a Lego Cargo Plane. When Matthew got home from school he helped Joshua build the plane.



Joshua had preschool, so we baked his birthday cupcakes. He was excited to take them to school and share them with his teachers and classmates.



For dinner Joshua requested one of his favorite meals, "Rice with the brown sauce."



This year Joshua requested a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Birthday Cake. I had fun making his cake for him. I was impressed with how it turned out. He absolutely loved his cake.



After dinner we sang and had cake and ice cream. Great way to end his weekend long celebration of his birthday!
