joshua, you're 6 today

we sang happy birthday to joshua over chocolate chip scones and strawberries for breakfast.


then he opened his cards...

gifts from rebekah {she wrapped up some of her books for him}

gifts from bailey {she also wrapped up some of her books :-)}

a package that came in the MAIL from grandmommy and granddad!

and our gifts
{a soccer goal...it will be used ONE DAY! once the snow is melted! :-)}

then we went sledding!!

joshua, you're 6 years old today.

you have such a sweet spirit.
calmness exudes from you...and i'm thankful for it every day.
you are a great friend...it's been so cool to watch you have friends this year in school.

you love numbers.
and you have an amazing memory.
you don't like rice or pasta.
you love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
you have just started reading and you are always reading a book...it's so fun!
you love your sisters and brother and you are so kind to them.
you will share your favorite toy or piece of candy with sawyer in a heartbeat...just because you want to...not because you are asked.
you are not the best loser.
you love to build legos.
and play with your train table.
and race hot wheels.

i love you.
i'm proud of all that you are.
and each day is a sweet blessing with you, joshua alden.

happy 6th birthday!

Ohhhhh adorable ~ I love all of that! I love the last pic and his shirt ~ he is looking so much older! I also love Sawyer's little hand on his shoulder on one of the pics. He is "calmness" for us all. Love you Joshua!
