Happy 4th Birthday Joshwee!~

Monday, our family celebrated Joshua's 4th birthday!!

With our season passes, we headed off to Knotts Berry Farm for the day, at Joshua's request. (Daddy was able to take the day off to go with us which was a real treat!) We had a really special day, and the Lord gave us great weather. Before we headed off, Daddy thanked the Lord for blessing us with our little "Joshwee" 4 years ago.

We spent most of our time at "Camp Snoopy" and it was fun to ride with the little tykes and watch their expressions! Joshua rode everything there was to ride in "Camp Snoopy" with me.

The afternoon flew by and soon his little head was nodding. We couldn't let him fall asleep quite yet though, as we hadn't presented him with his cake. (Originally the plan was for me to make him a chocolate cake with vanilla frosting but, as we spent the day at Knotts, Daddy and Mama thought it would be best to buy him a "Funnel Cake" which is somewhat like a huge jelly donut.) Mama pulled him out of the stroller and had him walk so he would not fall asleep. Daddy bought his Funnel Cake" and after we sang to him, he enjoyed his long awaited "birthday cake!"

We had a very full, but fun, day! It was such a blessing to be able to spend the day together as a family and celebrate our little Joshwee's birthday!

Here is one of those "family" moments as we walk to the park entrance:)
