Turning Two!

This past Sunday was Henry's 2nd birthday, and boy did we celebrate.
Our celebrations began Saturday with a party at Grandma Rosen's house.
 
The Birthday Boy

Opening presents with some help from Claire and Grandma

Cuddling with Great Grandpa

Daddy doing a dandy job of playing hide-and-seek.
Can't find him anywhere!

A Sesame Street birthday cake!
 
Waking up Sunday morning - ready to celebrate 
both his big birthday and Mother's Day.
 
This year, I planned a "Bow Wow Birthday" for Henry.  
Henry has a special relationship with his four-legged friends. So what could be better than a dog-themed birthday party?
  
Claire helped me "wrap" Henry's present - a new
shopping cart.  I thought she did a good job! 
 
We had my family, those who are in town, 
over for lunch - corn dogs, of course!
 
Henry loved playing with his cousins. 
 
Then he opened a few gifts including this one from Claire.  She knows just what he likes, mini Dora books.  It's just a coincidence that she likes them too.

This year my dad made Henry a great pull toy with shapes
that pop out when you push them.  Fun for all ages!

Henry wasn't so sure about his cupcake.  I made it to look like a bowl of dog food.  It's just cereal on top, but maybe it looked a little too real. 
  
Last, but certainly not least, we celebrated
Henry's birthday with the Puplis family. 
Henry loving Bailey

Grandpa and Grandma put out a summertime feast for us.
 
And of course, what's a party without Grandma's homemade cupcakes!

Henry approves!

Getting the hang of this present thing.

Cool cars! Even Claire jumped in on the fun. 
 
Thanks to all of our family for making Henry's second birthday so special. 
Wonderful memories!
