But today is his fourth birthday. We are celebrating him tomorrow. Joshua, we love you with all our hearts from your little red head all the way down to your precious piggy toes. My heart dances when you are in my arms! Happy birthday!

We are getting up in five hours. The car is loaded, alarms are set (please no Home Alone scenes here!), and the surprise presents are under the tree. The presents appeared mysteriously a couple of days ago and the kids have been dying to know what they are. They were given a poem tonight that told them they had to go right to sleep so they could open the magical gifts in the morning. Someone asked how I packed - we are in Chicago at my parents' house for Christmas so our suitcases were already out. We will video in the morning and share it later!!
