The Walter Family: Joshua's 5th Birthday

Joshua turned 5 years old on August 21st! It's hard to believe that it has been 5 years since he came into our lives. I couldn't imagine life without Joshua. He is so loving, energetic, unpredictable, and at times can be humorous! I am not sure what it is, but there is a soft spot in my heart for him. He makes my world a better place.

This year we celebrated Joshua's birthday by throwing a backyard birthday bash. Joshua loves playing outside, so this party was right up his alley. He wanted to blow up the bounce house, break out the power wheels, and run around the backyard for his birthday, so we did just that! Lots of our closest family and friends came to celebrate with us. We even had guests come all the way from Germany! My sister-in-law, Katy, had her husband's extended family in town visiting. You know my motto, the more the merrier! Joshua had so much fun playing with all his cousins and his friends, eating birthday cake, and of course opening all of his birthday presents! Here are some pictures from Joshua's party. Enjoy!

This year was the first year Joshua invited a friend to his birthday.
