Today is Henry's birthday. We have spent the day doing fun activities, including planting in the garden, hanging bird feeders, going to the library, and going on a lunch date to Chili's--just the two of us. We celebrated with cousins and grandparents on Sunday, combining with Bronwen's and Grammy's birthdays. Henry requested an "all-you-can-eat-chocolate-Pollyanna-cake." So I made two 12 inch layers (each took one doctored up cake mix), iced it with thick chocolate buttercream, covered it in MnMs, and told him he could eat as much as he wanted. He couldn't finish one peice, but it has lasted several days, so he's satisfied!I thought in honor of his birthday, I'd interview him. Here is the link to last year's birthday interview. I know that I still need to post about Bronwen's birthday, but I'm still not sure what I want to do for that one, so in the meantime, here's Henry's.

Happy birthday Henry! We all think that you are pretty special. I can't believe that you are already 7 years old. I'm glad that I get to be there to help you enjoy it.
Happy Birthday, Henry! My middle son is very close to your age. He turned seven on January 17th. Seven is a very special age to be! I enjoyed reading your interview, your mom is very creative!
He looks so much like Jared in that last picture. What a cutie! Happy Birthday Henry...from your Virginia cousins! : )
that is a really cool idea, Michal. One more thing I've learned from you that I want to copy.
Happy Birthday Henry!!
Have fun with your lizard, how cool!
(and I hate guacamole too)
Happy birthday, Henry!
I love these interviews. I am planning to do some again soon.
Oh I LOVE guacamole! And I loved getting to know you better Henry! Happy Birthday!
What a neat kid, Michal!
(We love legos and lizards at our house too)
Happy Birthday Henry!! I hope we get the chance to meet your new lizard. My girls love their giant furry pets but little scaly lizards make them squirm. : ) We need more exposure to the green side!
Happy Birthday Henry!!! Wow - I'm jealous - I wish I had a big slice of that chocolate-all-you-can-eat-Pollyanna-cake right now, it looks so yummy.
Aunt Kimberly
So sweet! And is he a mini-Jared or what? He looks just like dad!
Happy Birthday!
