We celebrated Joshua's first birthday with a few friends today! Joshua knows Henry from the walks his mom Sarah & I enjoy several times a week. Ethan and Sophie are fairly frequent playdate buddies- both of their moms are friends from Bible Study Fellowship. Although the moms and kids had never met each other before today, we all had a great time together. The kids played very well together, frequently trading and sharing toys. The conversations with my mom friends was super - and pretty much nonstop.
For food, we had toddler finger foods (teddy grahams, goldfish crackers, cheerios, and jello), some of my favorite foods (bread and fondue, hummus and veggies), and cupcakes. The theme of the party was Thomas the Train, so the banner, party hats, plates, and little flags on the cupcakes all featured Thomas. Also, each child got a Thomas ball and a book Joshua and I selected for him of her a couple of weeks ago.
We had a family mini-party last week, too, with Mike and I sharing cupcakes with Joshua and opening presents from family. Joshua was a big fan of cupcakes -- especially the frosting! Kendall, Ezra, and Emma sent a fantastic book about trucks. Joshua has really enjoyed his new toys: the Weebles playhouse and other gifts were so thoughtful and are a big hit! We are so blessed to have such wonderful family, on holidays and always.

It sounds like it was a wonderful birthday! I am so sorry we missed the birth date and sending well-wishes. I hope we can connect for a belated birthday and some play time. Call when you can - I can't wait to hear how life is treating you. You and your family remain in my heart, thoughts and prayers. And Joshua is such a cutie!
