Happy Birthday Little Joe!!!!

Holy moly! I cannot believe my first baby is now 5!!!!!! He was so excited and had a great time at his party. We had it here at the house with just close friends and family. He wanted a firetruck theme. I made his cake as usual (sorry Connie, they are an injustice compared to yours). He didn't eat any of it, but lots of people said it was pretty yummy :). My Dad and his new lady friend spent some time with both both but they cuddled with Garrett quite a bit and it was very sweet. After the kids broke open the pinata Dad and Garrett had suckers together. Garrett kept grabbing Dad's...it was very sweet.

I kinda feel like this birthday was a right of passage for both lil Joe and I. Just seems like he is an official "kid" now. It's pretty bittersweet. Big Joe and I stayed up til about midnight watching old home movies of Joe when he was a baby. It is so amazing to see some of the little quirks he still does, but has grown sooooo much. It's truly amazing and a blessing that Joe has come this far. I love you, buddy. Hope it was an awesome day.
