John Deere Party

If you follow this blog, it will come as no surprise that Josiah had a John Deere birthday party. He soaked up all the attention and his sister did an excellent job letting him open his presents. Earlier in the week we had taught him to say, "I'm 2!"

Showing everyone his John Deere plates.

John Deere everything. Plates, napkins, favors, fruit snacks and cake.

All of the children were excited about Josiah's tool set. Those tools kept Aliza and Caleb occupied all evening. Both of them had a turn crying over having to share. Josiah was perfectly content to play with his cars, tractor and wagon while they played with the tools.

After he opened the car and truck he couldn't put them down. He climbed up on Grandad's lap for some help.

Josiah blew out his candles. In fact the first time he blew them out while I was still lighting them. After Josiah blew the candles everyone clapped and he clapped too. The first time the clapping caught him off guard and after that he was ready for it. I think he blew them out 3 times and Aliza blew them once.

He loves cake!

He even snuck back to the table for a 2nd, 3rd and maybe 4th piece. Or at least frosting.

I really enjoyed watching him enjoy everything about the day. Josiah said Wow! so many times and said Thank You after he opened his presents. His vocabulary is increasing daily now!
