On the Sunday before his birthday, Grandma and Grandpa Derr came up for a short
visit.
And later that day, we had a few family friends over for dinner and cake to help
celebrate his birthday. He doesn’t
have too many kid friends yet, and he really wanted to invite a few of the
ladies from church over, so a family and friends party seemed the way to go.
He wanted a Lego cake, so I made this chocolate-coconut cake
with Lego shaped candies on top.
On his actual birthday, he got to open his presents after
breakfast. His big gift was his first
bike. He was so excited and couldn’t
wait to try it out. (Hence the pj’s in
the picture)
Ashlyn, who just learned to ride her own bike without
training wheels, was eager to give him his first lesson in how to ride. It took a while for him to get the hang of
peddling and steering at the same time, but he spent lots of time practicing
during the day!
In the morning we also went over to Whole Foods for a story/craft/snack
time. The kids got to plant sunflowers
to take home, and the group sang happy birthday to Josiah. Later, he got to spend the evening “working” in
the garden with Dakota. His version of “working”
includes a couple buckets, a shovel, and mixing up lots of mud! It was his favorite way to end a day!
