Birthday Open House....

Joel's birthday weekend wound down with an open house on Sunday afternoon. We had about 25 friends stop by to have cake and ice cream and wish Joel a happy birthday. He LOVED all the attention and was really cooperative and well behaved the whole afternoon. He got more fun presents and got to play with little kids, which doesn't happen very often! Everyone was gone by about 4:30, and Joel crashed about 10 minutes after that for 2 1/2 hours! He was OUT!! This was the last of his birthday celebrations. He had such a wonderful birthday week with so many people who love him. He is one incredibly lucky little boy! (Of course, we are pretty darn lucky, too!) More later....
