Henry celebrated his birthday early. His choice: soccer party. I went for the green, black, and white. We embraced the theme

with handmade signs by Papa

a cupcake cake

a pinata

and a ladybug mascot.

He chewed his first piece of gum.

There was lots of soccer playing (thanks to the friends who brought gear)

while toddlers chased extra balls.

A gathering of friends and family to wish him his very best as he blew out his candles.

A celebration to honor our little boy who loves to run and play and laugh.

A pile of gifts that he loves. He immediately loved the idea of a “fart gun.”

By the end of the party this girl was ready to pass out because she had skipped her nap.

I know we don’t have the energy to throw parties like this all the time. But I really like all the planning. So yeah, my next party is in two years. I hope you will come.
