As I’ve mentioned before, our family has a penchant for prolonging the birthday for extraordinary lengths of time. Josiah, though, really takes the cake (pun intended). We are working on eighteen days and counting, folks!

Here are some photos from last night’s birthday party (attendees included our small group and a few other friends)...

Yes, Josiah, it’s carrot cake… And, no, we can’t fool you.

Josiah loves presents. (And, who doesn’t?) That’s our friend Julie’s daughter, Ava, in the background. We always joke that she is Josiah’s future wife. But, we are sad to see both of them leaving Kansas City to live in Texas for a while. (Until your return sweet lady.)

It is now two days past his actual birthday. We will see what the new day brings us!
