Josh's actual birthday

Josh has been anxiously awaiting his 5th birthday. He is one of the youngest kids in his class, so he watched each kid turn 5 and he could barely stand it. He kept saying while holding up all five fingers, "Mom when I turn 5 I'll be a hold hand!"

So finally he's a hold hand. When he woke up on his birthday morning he was beaming. He turned to Parker and said "Hug me Parker, I'm 5!"

We were in Utah, so we were able to celebrate with Grandpa and Grandma Surganovich and Uncle Chad.

Grandma helped me decorate the night before

Josh requested pancakes, bacon, and sausage for birthday breakfast

The Mills tradition is to have a special plate for birthdays. Dave and I bought a pink & a blue plate with the picture of a cake on it from the 99 Cent Store when we were first married. This was the first year that Josh asked if he got to use the special plate on his birthday. I felt like now it's officially a tradition.

Grandpa went and got special birthday donuts

Parker enjoyed his usual chocolate with sprinkles

For lunch Josh wanted Mc Donald's

The icing on the cake was the Mc Donald's had a play place

Later in the week we got together with all the family, Jared, Sam, & baby Ethan too.
Plus our family friends Susie and Michael. We went to Jump on It then to Sizzler for dinner.

Me and my bros. Aren't they cute.

Grandma and Ethan. I think he's smiling.

We celebrated both the boys birthday together. They enjoyed the gifts from their aunt, uncles, and grandparents. It sure was a lot of celebrating for this 5th birthday! Still more to come too.
