Josiah's 5th Birthday Party!

Today we celebrated Josiah's 5th Birthday Toy Story style.

'

We decorated the kitchen this morning & Josiah was so excited.

He loved seeing me take his cake out of the box.

We had his cake decorated like Andy's room from Toy Story with Woody, Buzz, Legos, a jump rope, Andy's bedroom rug & his hardwood floors.

We took everything out of the playroom & only put Toy Story toys in the room for the kids. We also put two kid tables with Toy Story coloring sheets & crayons. We played Toy Story 2 on the TV in the playroom & Toy Story 1 on the TV in the living room. On the counter in the kitchen, we served cake & ice cream.

We set out drinks for everyone & goody bags for the kids to enjoy.

At 10:30am the party guests began arriving. The kids ran straight for the playroom to color, play & watch the movie. The adults headed straight for the kitchen to enjoy their morning cup of coffee & chat.

After we all played & talked for a while, we gathered in the kitchen. Dustin led the group in a prayer of blessing over Josiah. We all then chimed in & sang "Happy Birthday" to my sweet boy. He loved it & then blew out his candles.

The cake was DELICIOUS! This was the quietest time of the whole party. The kids were enjoying their food & didn't make a sound.

After cake & ice cream, we went into the living room to open some presents. The kids all gathered around Josiah & were so excited to watch.

Uncle Chris sent some presents for Josiah's party...some big presents!

These are all the gifts his wonderful friends gave to him at his party.

These are the gifts Dustin & I gave Josiah for his birthday.

After present time, we ran outside to play for a while. The kids had the best time taking turns on the trampoline my parents gave Josiah for an early birthday present & playing on the swingset. No matter what the weather, kids love to play in our yard.

We feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends to share such a special occasion with. We all had a great time at Josiah's 5th Birthday Party!
