Henry's Birthday

It's Felix's birthday tomorrow.
But the title is correct. I'm posting about Henry's birthday today. A month late! I am hoping to post about Felix's birthday tomorrow, which should just be possible because we celebrated today.

He(nry) turned 5.

He's quite the wonderful little colossus of energy.
He wanted a pine-cone cake. He collected them himself on a hike we did. Actually, he wanted to burn them instead of candles, but we decided on candles and pine-cones.


Brian set it on fire, and we sang...

...But before even blowing the candles out, Henry wanted to make sure that everyone had a plate. We call him "helpful Henry" but only because of the alliteration. It's more accurately "thoughtful Henry."

My friend Manuela is also very thoughtful. She brought a gift for Henry, and also gifts for the other kids. She knew Agnes would be visiting.  
Here they model their new sunglasses.

Agnes helps Felix with his.

Henry did a birthday photoshoot with his new bow-tie. We have already tried it out at many concerts and events, to great success. It's a tie-it-yourself kind of bow-tie.

While we were doing the photoshoot, Felix thought climbing the banisters was a good idea. He couldn't convince us...

...but he could convince Agnes.

sooo....... Happy Birthday Henry. <3 p="">
