Once we got through weeks of pneumonia and other fun stuff, we were finally able to set a date in August for Henry's birthday party. He invited a few friends from school to swim at the pool and then play at our house.
Deciding which treat to buy...they were trying to convince Jack (the lifeguard) that one quarter could buy a candy bar that was $1.00, but he didn't fall for it.

Shaking presents
For many weeks, we practiced what to say when opening a present:
"You've been hoping for Jabba the Hut Palace for months. When you open the next present you see it isn't the palace, it's a Barbie house! What do you say?"
Henry: "Thank you...but then we could exchange it, right Mom?"
Walter: "No thank you, please. I'd like something else."
Legos!
Grandma L made a Boba Fett cake that was pretty tasty. Henry chose Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle plates and napkins, a bull piñata for the game, and Angry Bird tattoos and Princess Leia cupcakes for the gift bags - a wide assortment of fun.
Blowing out the candles
Yum! They stayed in character while they were eating cake - which was pretty funny. There were lots of sword fights and chases while they were playing.
We played a few chasing games and then it was on to the piñata. It was a tough creature so Nate ended up having to break it up but the boys had fun trying. I think the party was a success - Henry seemed to have a good time and we enjoyed getting to know his friends.
