Our first family birthday in Columbia, S.C. has come and gone! Henry turned six yesterday and we had a pool party for him. His first "official" birthday party! We had a gracious friend who let us use her beautiful backyard pool and we invited several new families of friends over that we have recently met. It was a "shark" party and we played water games, ate cake and had lots of fun.
Here is the birthday boy. The cake was my homemade attempt to make a shark. I tried to color the icing naturally with blueberries, eschewing the horrific blue and red dyes at the super market....which only led to a confusing grayish pinkish shark color. Does it appear to be like JAWS?
We had multiple ages and stages at the party. Here's some of the younger ones all crammed into the baby pool....rub-a-dub-dub...five in a tub!
William made it to the party. He was super tired after several hours of party but he was a trooper none-the-less.
And here's a picture of us with new friends we've made in Columbia! What a fun full first summer.
Lastly, I have to record a funny conversation I had with John Mac this morning. He is so thoughtful, but often his mind is working and you don't even know it. While I was putting on deodorant today, he asked me a question. JM: Mommy, does that make hair grow? Me: No, John Mac. Why do you ask that? JM: Well, it makes hair grow on Daddy. Every time he puts it on his hair there gets longer and longer.
