Henry's birthday started by finding his birthday signs. A tradition my mom started. On the morning of your birthday you find as many "Happy Birthday" signs as you are old. Henry loved it this year, carrying the first one he found around with him.
We had to grocery shop today, so Henry got dressed for that, but immediately he changed back into his Superman pj's that he wore all day. He also had speech and his teacher brought a wooden toy birthday cake to use for his lesson, he loved it.
Sophia was more excited than Henry to open presents. She went with me last night to buy his gifts and started asking at 8:30 - am - "How much time before Daddy gets home?" So Henry could open his presents. So the minute Randy walked in the door before anything, Henry opened his presents.
Henry had birthday Sherbet instead of cake. Complete with candles and "Happy Birthday!" He tried to blow the candles out once, didn't succeed and had lots of willing helpers.
Ending the big day with a superman cartoon.
Here's Henry with his brothers and sister and cousins Oliver (3) and Parker (1) for his first birthday party. We were blessed with Grandma Steffen, Aunt Sara (Randy's littlest sister), Uncle Eric and cousins Oliver and Parker company the end of Feb.through the beginning March. Since everyone was here we decided to celebrate Henry's birthday. Everyone's excited to get some cake!
Henry's cousins made Henry some very cool wrapping paper. Here he opening one of many very cool presents.
Here's his cake a train with Blue from Blue's Clue as the engineer.
