We had such a fun party for Henry on Saturday, June 7th. It was a jungle animal theme. My good friend, Jenny Farha, made a beautiful cake that was definitely the center of attention (besides the birthday boy of course).
My mother in law, Sally, and I worked hard to prepare snacks in the kitchen while trying to keep Henry from digging into his cake.
Guests started to arrive and the party really got started. We set up the pool Henry got from Grammy and Grandpa in the backyard with a slip n slide and the water table. I didn't even realize there was going to be something for all ages, but it worked out perfectly and the weather really held out for us. Thank goodness the rain stopped! I don't know what I would have done if all these kids were playing in our house :)
I was even able to enjoy some time with Henry on the trampoline.
After about an hour we came in to sing Happy Birthday to Henry. It was sad to see the cake being cut into, but oh so good to eat!
We are so blessed to have such amazing friends and family who know exactly what a two year old wants for his birthday. Henry was a little tired by this point (getting over being sick) so hopefully my expressions show how excited he was to receive his gifts.
I think we snapped this picture right before heading downstairs so Henry could see his present from Boompa and Nana (an amazing pop up play set with a ball pit and tunnels that Henry loves). Except ALL of the kids headed downstairs and I my eyes are saying, "take the picture so I can go manage the herd!"
Ella had a good time too. I didn't see her the whole time, but I'm pretty sure she wasn't put down for the entire party. Lots of people to love her. This picture shows how we all felt when the party was over.
