18? Really?

Time to make a wish!

Josh strategically blew out his candles, leaving one burning for his girlfriend to blow out!

Wow! 18 years old already!

Jay and Judy sharin' the love!

Great Grandma Irene! Not many people are fortunate enough to have a Great Grandparent celebrate their 18th Birthday with them! It doesn't get much better!

We shared quite a few laughs while Josh opened his cards and presents:

Camron and Keith

Josh reading his dad's words: a bitter sweet birthday message for a parent to write...

The big gift was a surprise!

A brand new laptop!

It was so wonderful to celebrate the amazing great grandson, grandson, son, step-son, brother, cousin, boyfriend, and friend that Josh is, and the man he is about to become! (Is that sappy enough?)

It was a very special day for Mike too, who is one fabulous father!
