Happy Birthday Kevin and Henry

I am a little bit late in getting this posted, but oh well. I was holding out for a picture of Henry on his big-boy birthday two-wheeler bike , but the camera was never handy when he was riding. We had a great birthday weekend. Kevin turned 31 on Saturday the 15th. Henry wanted nothing more than to give Dad balloons for his birthday so we bought him a balloon bouquet and some bagels for the guys at the shop and surprised him at work. That night Kevin and I celebrated by getting a sitter and seeing the movie Vantage Point. I also gave him tickets for us to see Frank Caliendo. He is a comedian who does brilliant impressions.

Henry's birthday was on Monday, the 17th. We celebrated that night with cake and ice cream. Henry wanted a race car cake so I made my first designer birthday cake and it was a moderate success. Luckily 3 year olds don't have a real discerning eye.

The Birthday Gang below consists of (Left to right) Abby Nelson, Kristl Nelson, Mom, Henry, Rich Nelson (the Nelsons are close friends), Tylar Gregory (best friend down the street) and his mom, Tanya Pawloski. The birthday party was about as simple as they come, but we were surrounded by good friends and that is the best gift of all.
