Henry's birthday!

We celebrated Henry's birthday yesterday with a pool party - he invited 7 of his best buddies from school to help him celebrate.

 See? This is why we got a minivan - what other car could we cram 9 inner tubes into? We gave each kid an inner tube instead of a goody bag.

 The birthday boy!

 The whole gang.

 Cupcake time!

 As soon as he got home he got to work on his new Lego kits. Mike woke up at 5:30am this morning and came downstairs to find Henry already up and working on his kits in the dining room. Lego obsessed.

 Some of his gifts from us - a Slushy Magic from George, Captain Underpants books from Mike and I, and a cheesehead for the little Packer fan.

 Henry didn't want cake this year - he insisted on whoopie pies for his birthday!

Note Rex scrounging for crumbs. This cracks me up.
