Henning Turns Three

Thanks to Dad's late night hard work, Henning had dinosaur cupcakes to share with his Kids' Corner friends on his birthday. Lessons we have learned after our first real school party... 1) be sure that there is a pink dinosaur for every girl and a T-Rex for every boy!

That night Henning shared a birthday cupcake with Sig and then "opened" his big present - his first bike.

A week later, we threw Henning's official birthday party the day after we moved. Note the unpacked boxes in the background! Grandma Kathy, Grandma Gigi, Grandpa, the Howells and the Bakers came to celebrate with us. The Lightning McQueen cake was a big hit with Henning and his buddies Finn and Ieuan.

What a difference a year makes...

On the heels of Henning's third birthday (more on that later) came Sig's first birthday. We decided to celebrate the occasion by moving. Thanks to the help and hard work of Grandma Gigi, Grandma Kathy, Grandpa and our friend Sophie, we managed to get ourselves moved and to throw a small party for Sig. Since monkeys are an inexplicable personal favorite of his, we put together a monkey cake and dug up some Curious George decorations. Between having a cake nearly to himself and being surrounded by balloons (another favorite), we are sure this was a banner day for Sig and we all managed to forget unpacking for an hour or so.
