For Henry's birthday this year we decided to keep it sweet & simple {with a wedding, Waterman's Ball, France, and construction all happening within a few days of each other it seemed too overwhelming for me to have a party}. I have had a little bit of guilt surrounding the decision, until yesterday. As Ross and I were watching our son in all of his glory riding a pony we realized that this might be the only year that his birthday can just be us three. Ross and I soaked up every second. Henry took his first train ride {to Zoomars in San Juan Capistrano}, drank a hot chocolate, got a cowboy hat, road a pony and fed a bunny. It was perfect.
Happy Birthday sweet boy... we love you so much.
Sounds perfect!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, sounds like the best birthday ever. No need for guilt. Those will be the loveliest memories for your sweet family. Enjoy the simple moments when you can.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh sounds like a really fun birthday! Thanks for the heads up on Zoomars.

we have a feeling Henry is one of the luckiest birthday boys to have shared in such a sweet day--they'll be lots more birthdays you can have the big blow-out--keep it sweet, keep it simple for now.
ReplyDeletewhat a fun birthday little henry had! i'm sure he'll remember riding a pony for years to come!
ReplyDeletei think a sweet and simple day with mom and dad is perfect..yee haw!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!! I think that's the best kind of birthday and I'm sure he felt very special ;)
ReplyDeleteOh you made the best decision, trust me! Once they turn three they want parties with cake and jumpy houses:) Times like these are the best, so glad you had fun:)
ReplyDeleteA friend told me that any birthday party under the age of six is really for the parents...I think I can believe that. Good decision, I think! Julie
ReplyDeletethe cowboy hat is too much!!
