March Birthday Boys

Henry turned 4 on March 13.  Here he is that very day with the balloons Uncle Dan and Aunt Wanda sent him. When we opened the door and the deliveryman told us they were for Henry.  He jumped up and down saying "Yes! Yes! Yes!"   He and the rest of the kids have had so much fun with them.

Opening his gift on the 13th, (it was Eye Brawl from Skylanders).  We kept the rest of his gifts for his party on Saturday.

Originally EyeBrawl was going on the top of this cake.  Then Henry wanted strawberries on it, but we didn't have any.  So we went downstairs together to get starwars guys and ended up choosing pirates instead.  Henry had definite ideas about how the toys should be arranged.   He told me excitedly, "Me wove it!" (Me love it).  When the older kids came home from school he happily showed them his cake.

Alex requested ice cream sandwiches made with chocolate chip cookies, for his birthday celebration.

Watching Alex open his gifts.  Alex was lucky enough to have his cousin Madison, Aunt Audrey and Uncle Dale here to celebrate with him.

This year Alex's 12th birthday landed on Easter. Aunt Kathy made Alex an apple pie, just for him .  He wasn't able to shoot his arrow much because it rained most of the day. But there was lots of time for video games and other fun.
