In a nutshell

Adults need special days too and I'm glad this one was. Josh's birthday went wonderfully! We started celebrating last night, since I was off from work, and took the whole family out to Applebees where Josh could relax and enjoy a nice cold frosty one. This morning was all about homemade cards and presents. Josh got the charcoal grill I gave him over the weekend, but Trevor made him a card which said, "Happy Birthday, I love you Daddy, Trevor." The amazing thing is that Trevor wrote all the letters ALL BY HIMSELF! It was so special and I was so proud of Trevor. Then Trevor wrapped up the grill accessories and book that Jeff and Irene sent in his Power Ranger wrapping paper and gave it to his daddy(Thanks guys, he loved them!).
Today, was all about the cake. First thing this morning, Trevor was rounding up all the candles in the house and counting them for, "daddy's 33 wishes." It was so cute. Then we all headed out to the grocery store to pick out a cake, frosting and decorations. Trevor had all the ingredients picked out in his very own little shopping cart. After we got home and had lunch, we proceeded to make the cake,lick the spoon, lick the bowl, bake the cake, make the frosting, lick the spoon again, and frost the cake, complete with YELLOW frosting decorations (that really didn't work out so well). It was chocolate cake, chocolate frosting just how Josh likes it:) Boy did that cake look homemade! The birthday boy was able to come home just a few minutes early from work to blow out his candles and be sung to. What a fire, with 33 candles! Thank you so much for everyone who took the time out of their busy day to make a phone call to Josh and send him good wishes, he had a great day, and defiantely felt the love you sent him on his birthday:) Pics to follow......
