Henry's 5th birthday!

Sweet Henry is 5 years old!!!  This sweet thing has been wanting to be 5 for as long as I can remember.  That's the thing about being the younger in your class with a summer birthday...everyone turns 5 and you are still 4!  His teacher wanted to celebrate his birthday at school in April so he has been confused about his birthday for the past 4 months. He would wake up everyday and ask "Am I 5 now?" Our boy is finally 5!  

Since Henry's party is his Great Wold Lodge trip...we just had pizza and cake at the house with family and a couple friends.  He was thrilled!  He picked out a paw patrol cake from Wal-Mart and was good to go.  Talk about EASY!

Birthday Morning!

Thrilled with his Paw Patrol t-shirt and Rocky

What's in the box?  A Great Wolf Lodge certificate!

Birthday pancakes for the 5 year old!

Someone was ticked that it wasn't her birthday.

A new bike for the birthday boy was in order!

We enjoyed lunch at Chick-Fil-A.  I made funfetti cupcakes and he loved them.  We saw some of our pre-school buddies there and we shared the rest of the cupcakes.

He counted down the hours until his party!  Nana and Granddad were the first to arrive.  I was really proud of myself for being so laid back.   Whenever anyone showed up with a present I let him open it.  And you know what?  It was way better than having 10 presents to open at once.  He got to enjoy each gift and then THANK the person who gave it to him.  YAY!

He was so excited!

Drew and Jake gave him a bag full of fun!

Mr. Glenn (our neighbor) gave him  a singing M&M. How sweet.

Thanks Pops and Carolyn!

This cake was delish and he loved it!
