Opening his birthday present from his godmother

Not sure even sure if I shared this Video with K. Oye! I used to be so much better about staying on top of sharing this stuff.

Mail Call!

A belated birthday card and a Christmas card arrived in the mail for Henry (birthday) and both of the kids (Christmas).

7th Birthday at Great Serengheti Waterpark

Here are pictures of Henry and 6 friends he invited to his party, as well as his sister and a friend for her....so a total of 9 kids.....no one drowned :)

Happy 7th Birthday!

Birthday Parties - How many does a 5 year old need? Jeez.

Henry's 4th Birthday Party with Friends (videos)

Henry had a Pool Party for his 4th Birthday Party and invited 4 friends to come to his party. Here are a few video from that.
 

Birthday Party with Friends

 This top collage you can see again on the John Deere Tractor Party Theme post on Sunday on Save Green Being Green but the bottom two you don't see there.

 We had his birthday party with friends out at Ag Power, which is the John Deere dealership in the area. We have done a playgroup there every year for the last few years.

Henry invited 4 friends that we see often & have frequent playdates with to his party, but since it was a daytime party that was not a drop off, siblings were included so it made for a pretty big party for a 3 year old.

I just did cupcake for this party mainly because I was doing all finger food and wanted to avoid needing silverware for everyone. He had a good time and got a lot of JD toys. You can read more stuff about this party in that post on Sunday.

Toddler Tuesday, Underwater Adventures 7 Lunch @ Famous Dave's at MOA

More Birthday Pics

The top collage is actually the after than the one below is the before. He wasn't too happy about the candles & not being able to touch his cake and started having a toddler breakdown.

We had his big birthday party last weekend when we were in WI by mommy's family. The kids have 2 cousins their age there, so it's more fun. We brought a long our bounce house as a fun activity for the party since Henry loves the bounce house. We decorated with a homemade banner I made, streamers & balloons. There were goodie bags for all the kids. And I made spaghetti & pizza & fruit (Some of Henry's favorites) for 14 people for dinner. And I also made him some lego cakes (see below). It was actually kind of a pain to make them. I went much simpler in the cake department for this weekend. Right now I just don't have the time to do elaborate cakes when I have two little ones tugging at me all the time, maybe some day. And of course we did some presents.

Happy 1st Birthday!!!

I snapped these two collages while Henry was getting pictures taken by Skye. Tomorrow we will be doing family pictures & some more individual pictures of the kids.

This afternoon we had a birthday lunch for Henry and Grandma & Grandpa M. came over to join us. Here the kids are playing with the toy he received from them for his birthday (in combination with the toy Isabel gave him for his birthday). He is currently napping as I type and later we will have birthday cake with him (2nd time today since he had some this morning.)
