Joseph had a birthday

Just before Thanksgiving, Joseph had his 8th birthday and it was celebrated at the Maple Grove Community Center in the play area. Several neighbors, friends and family were there to be there for Joe. It was kind of cold and the kids were bundled up with coats and hats, except for Gigi - she did not want to mess up her pony tails. Cute bunch. We waited until 9:00 and then hit the play area with a vengeance.

The birthday boy was decked out in his favorite sports team outfit.

Joseph was ready to extinguish the candle.

Did not need three. Mom had made delicious chocolate cupcakes with a Star Wars theme. You can just see how good they were.

Joe finally washed it all down with some Orange Crush Soda.

He had fun reading the cards he got and opening his gifts from his friends.

Yippee!

Oh my goodness. Look at this one! Liam, one of the Smentek Star Wars fans, is looking on with envy.

We all had a great time. Joseph, we are glad you are eight. Happy Birthday.
