Henry's 8th Birthday Celebrations

We had lots of fun celebrating Henry turning 8. We started the weekend before with a visit from the grandmas. They brought their 2 gifts for him, I had gotten an Oreo ice cream cake, and we had a fun time celebrating together. He got a Hobby Lobby gift card and $20. He was so thrilled!

Here he is using his gift card. I snapped this to send to the grandmas. He had never used the "credit card" machine, and it was so funny watching him sign-little leftie! He spent it all on jewelry making supplies to make necklaces for them.

He had been asking to open a savings account, so he put the $20 from grandma with some $ he had and opened one. Here he is signing again! Pretty cute. He's been working to save ever since and he loves adding to it each week.

On his actual bday, a Wednesday and homeschool day, we had worked over the weekend to not have any schoolwork on his actual bday. We went to the library and we went to Sugar Belle for cupcakes after lunch. That night his request was tacos at El Olmeca and ice cream and Handel's-which we ate in the car bc it was freezing outside!

That evening we opened gifts from our family. Here he is with an acrylic art set from us. He loves art supplies and was thrilled! His big gift was an electric scooter from us...I took pics, but they weren't very good bc it was cold and dreary out when he was taking it for its first spin. Anyway, it's been fun for him!

He got a drone from Grandpa and Peggy, so here he is the next day after he charged it.

Then on Friday after school Henry had his friend party-a golf party at Top Golf! He was all for a smaller party, and so were we. This turned out great! We asked him who he wanted to invite, and he chose Dawson & Carter from church and Andrew & Jackson from school. Plus his sisters of course!

After school we did a quick Chick-fil-A run and then met up with the Zorios at Top Golf. They were so happy together!

Our 8 year old!

Steven and I worked together on the cake the night before. It turned out pretty cute!!

Sibling love! The girls were thrilled to help with the celebration!

Giving hugs to Jackson for his gift!

The whole gang! So fun!

Happy together-talking about who knows what!

Jackson is Henry's favorite school friend. They get along so well.

My boy!

Checking out a cool Lego set-those faces!!

After the party, the Zorio boys came to play and spend the night. They had a great time playing together, watching Star Wars before bed, and talking. So thankful for these friends!

Pizza dinner and leftover cake was a win! Happy bday Henry! So fun celebrating you!
