Big Birthday Weekend...

Joel's birthday weekend went by fast! His party on Saturday was a "farming" theme. I had fun decorating! He wore cute overalls that had "Old MacDonald" on them that I ordered from Ebay. Good thing the party is over....they were already almost too short! He is growing so fast. He loved all the attention at the party and didn't go to bed until after 11:00. It actually snowed and sleeted a little bit during the party, so the tractor riding didn't happen. On Sunday we had a surprise 90th birthday party for my Grandma. Joel was busy, busy, busy and ran all over for about 5 hours while we were there with no nap. He fell asleep instantly in the car on the way home about 5:00 and slept until 7:30. When he woke up he just wandered around the house with this pathetic little wimper. We put him back to bed about 9:30. I thought for sure he would be awake early, but he slept through until 8:00 this morning. He woke up in a really good mood! We are so happy with him in our world! He is the light of our lives and we are so grateful that he is our son. He can be an ornery little guy, but I wouldn't trade it for anything....MOST of the time! More later....
