Happy 6th Birthday Joey!

Joey celebrated his 6th birthday at Wonderland! Things we love about Joey... how he cares for his sister, his outgoing personality, his humor and charm :-), his love of outdoors and adventures, his thoughtfulness and of course most everything that comes out of his mouth. He keeps us on our toes. We love you Joey!

His party included miniature golf, bumper boats, pizza and yummy cake! Special thanks to Noni for making the trip over as well as cousin Shannon. A really fun day spent with special friends and family. Thank you everyone!

Happy Birthday Joey!
