Henry's birthday was sprinkled with fun throughout the day,
but the highlight was certainly the Whitecaps Game.
An annual event with Joe's work that luckily landed on Henry's birthday.
The evening was filled with one surprise after another.
All of Joe's co-workers signed a singing card for Henry.
And then we ran into Joe's high school guidance counselor who works there.
She stole the kids away to find some special treats.
And the best surprise of all...a foul ball that landed in our box!
Of course, the best part of a birthday is the birthday party.
Lately, Henry's been into the show "Jake and the Neverland Pirates". So of course, he was set on having a Pirate Party.
Our first party was with my side of the family.
Opening Grandpa's homemade golf set.
In Henry's world, Golf club = Sword
Arrrre you ready to celebrate pirate style?
Menu: String Cheese "Treasure Maps"
"Fish and Chips"
Chicken "Golden Nuggets"
Meatball "Cannonballs"
"Buried Treasure" Corn and Carrots
Gold Doubloon Cupcakes
An enthusiastic Uncle Mike
We also celebrated Mother's Day while we were together.
This year my mom and I surprised each other with the gift we gave her.
We wanted to make her a fancy hat to wear while she watches her horse races.
The funny thing is that she had apparently donated that hat to Africa's Child,
where we bought it, along with some flowers we glued onto it.
What are the chances of that?!
The following weekend we celebrated Henry's birthday with
Joe's side of the family at Melissa's new home.
The Great Grandmas enjoyed the nice day and good company.
And the rest of us also enjoyed good conversation and yummy pirate food.
My attempt to give Henry the "Bucky Boat" cake he had requested.
Thank you to everyone for celebrating Henry's birthday with us.
You all helped to make it very special.
