I was so excited to celebrate this little birthday boy! His birthday fell on a Friday so we all met at mom and dad's Friday evening to start celebrating. Per the birthday boys request he wanted a party at MawMaw's house. I think he sees all the adults have birthday dinners & opening presents on their birthday at mom & dad's and he wanted the same thing. After opening his first Mama Rita birthday basket we all headed to Kokomo Joe's for some birthday fun.
Henry opened more presents (and immediately put on his new firefighter costume), the babes played in tunnels and bounce houses and then eventually made their way over to the bowling alley and games. Henry and Elle even went on their first go cart ride with Unc & Paige. Notice their car color choices, fits them both perfectly. Elle was stoic and holding on almost the whole time. Henry and Unc were 2 wild and crazy guys in that car!
The next day with Henry's Handy Manny birthday party at Mary & Nick's house. He was so excited to get to the present opening! At one point one of the babies at the party crawled over to his gifts and Henry ran to protect them while accidentally tearing his gift from MawMaw & PawPaw open. Once his little eyes saw that a skateboard was in there, which he had been asking & hoping for, it was hard to keep him away. As soon as he was able to tear it all the way open he immediately had PawPaw putting it together. Soon after we were all chanting for PawPaw to blow up the inflatable Santa we bought for Hen. Dad is always the one asked to fix or assemble anything. If any of Elle's toys aren't working or breaks she will say "PawPaw fix it".

I love my little Hensy Hoo with all my heart. He makes this world a happier, funnier place to live in. He is the sweetest little boy and says some of the funniest things! He loves going to Chick-Fil-A where he can eat and play, is not afraid to let you know if something isn't his jam "Me no loves this", prefers everything be green or orange, refers to himself as "big boy", is one of the all time best shopping buddies you could ask for, will break out in song and dance at a moments notice, has some imaginary friends with some pretty creative names, goes to an imaginary school where his teacher allows him to use scissors and is a typical little boy who can't get enough bathroom humor. He came into our life 3 years ago and turned our world upside down in the absolute best way possible. I adore you, Henry. Being your aunt and getting to spend so much time with you is one of the biggest blessings in the world.
