And just like that, Henry is one! We celebrated our goofy, happy, fun-loving baby with a summery "You Are My Sunshine" party...because sunshine he is, indeed.
 |
| It was 100 degrees the day Henry was born, making him my little Sun King. Adorable felt birthday crown compliments of Auntie. |
 |
| Goody buckets awaiting the kids.... |
 |
| Ikey choosing his party crown. |
 |
| Passing out goodies to cousin Jaxson |
 |
| William photo-bombing in his new shades. Tray of cream puffs from Neat-O's...YUM. |
 |
| Lunch time... |
 |
| Kids' table! |
 |
| Hanky and his (fairy) God-Mama |
 |
| He loves her. |
 |
| Ikey and Benny playing with their new pails. |
 |
| Charlie and William swinging with Auntie Sonja. |
 |
| Slide race |
 |
| I'm not sure I'd put Benny in the driver's seat. |
 |
| Henry got to invite one friend and he chose Chloe Margaret...understandably. |
 |
| This particular park backs up to a farm and the cows often huddle right at the fence by the tree line. I was kind of hoping they'd join us for the party, but with rain approaching, I guess they knew better than to get too far from the barn. |
 |
| Auntie and John John |
 |
| Big shot. I can walk, you know. |
 |
| Party hats on and ready for cake. |
 |
| Can't believe our BABY is one! |
 |
Happy Birthday, dear Hanky!
 |
 |
| Dig in! Move over cupcakes....individual sunrise cakes also made (with love) by Auntie. She sews, she bakes, she can do anything...Betsy Crocker! |
 |
| Benny ate his entire sunrise cake (with both hands, like a burger)...in about 120 seconds. |
 |
| This boy can appreciate a tasty cake. |

| Cake goatee |
 |
| The Birthday Boy with Ahmie and Pa |
 |
| Soaking up some post-cake snuggles with Ahmie and Auntie Sonja. I love that all five of my boys have a very special relationship with their Great Auntie. |
 |
| Ahmie and Hoo |
 |
| All of Hanky's peeps loving on him...Nana and Grandpa Jim. |
 |
| Great Grandma and Grandpa. |
 |
| If these three are anything like their mamas, they're going to have a lifetime of fun together! |
 |
| Rugrats! Attempting an organized group shot... |
 |
| Ikey's about to run off... |
 |
| John John is TOTALLY done with pictures... |
 |
| Big and Little. My bookends. |
 |
| Lots of helpers with gifts. How nice of his brothers to volunteer! |
 |
| Happy Birthday, my sweet one-year-old! You are my sunshine. |
