Birthday Festivities

Well we survived the weekend! It was a lot of fun and there was a lot going on. Saturday morning for Josh's birthday and the Swedish holiday of Santa Lucia Day I got up early and made Josh cinammon rolls and hot chocolate and took it to him in bed. Then he opened some presents from me which were a new jacket and a video game. Later on in the day we went and saw the movie Four Christmases and went to dinner at Tepanyaki. Then that night we had some of my family over for cake and ice cream and some games and of course, more presents for Josh! I know I have said this many times before but I absolutely LOVE holiday's with Josh. He is like a little boy with his anticipation and excitment. He loves toys, games, and the works. It makes it so much fun to prepare and surprise him. On Sunday night I had the rest of my family over for dinner and leftover cake. It was fun and exhausting. Now we get to focus our energy and attention on Christmas in just 10 short days!! Can you even believe that?!?!?!
