Big H Turns 12!

Today is Henry's 12th birthday.  I think he has had a pretty good day so far.

1 - He woke up at 6:20 (par for the course for Henry) and opened his gift from the family with Jay - a new NY Yankees jersey that he is saving for the big Yankees/Padres game this weekend.

2 - No party this year, but he did invite a few friends to the Logan Aquatic Center for fun and swimming.  We got pizza and had soda and snow cones.  The kids came home tired but happy.  We decided against the party because A-he couldn't really think of anything that he wanted to do for a party and B-we are leaving for So Cal on Friday and it just seemed like a lot to organize a big party (Henry usually invites 8 - 10 kids to his parties) and then leave two days later.  Anyway, this was a good compromise, especially for me.

3 - He is going to his last 11 year old Scouts meeting, followed by dinner with Jay.  We usually let the kids pick out a fun dinner for their birthday,  but William is going to be gone hiking with his Cub Scout group and we had pizza for lunch so we were just going to do something else.  But Jay is feeling bad that he had to leave for work early and hasn't been around for his birthday so he is going to take Henry out for a little Father/Son bonding time.

Henry is a great kid and fun to be around.

Happy Birthday, Henry!  We love you!
