You've had a Birthday shout Hooray!!! The big O-N-E!!

Well, we made it one year...sometimes barely but hey, we're all alive and well at the Henderson household :D Our little, or tall, monkey turned the big 1 on Jan 20th, sigh. Here's a little re-cap on our weekend festivites for the Goo. Friday morning we woke up at 11, just in time for breakfast ;) Maddox loves him a good elmo party so that we did. Breakfast with the red guy. We put Maddox in his highchair, I donned a Big Bird hat, daddy Cookie Monster and the man of the week got Elmo. He likes to be apart of making food so he watched while we listened to the All time Number 1 hits of Michael Jackson. Maddox loves alittle MJ in the mornin...er afternoon. We made eggs, pancakes(elmo shape for the boy), bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, strawberries and blueberries. I think we needed some more options. We put Maddox on his new rocking/bouncing horse, he was alittle unsure of what to do, he'll get the hang of it...someday. We also got him some more big boy cups in an array of colors, color tablets for bath time and bubbles. Apparently we've deprived him off the bubble world because you would have thought  Santa himself was taking a bath with Maddox, a little creepy maybe but it's true. He was screaming with excitment. Of coarse while mom is doing the dishes, dad and Maddox played and played in the bubbles. I could hear him just screaming with excitment so I came upstairs to join the nudity fest. Travis had to work that night so Maddox, G and G Jones and I went to "On The Boarder" for dinner.

My sad attempt of an edible Elmo

                            Inspecting the bubble situation :D

Saturday rolled around and it was party central for this klan! We had a circus themed party at the one and only cesspool in Boise...I mean I wanted to immediatly bathe just walking through the doors into this place, drum roll please...Chuck e Cheese, I mean wooooow. I'm surprised we all don't have diseases this morning but hey, welcome to the world of kids and germs. No.?  Well anyways we had a blast, and actually closed the place down, Maddox had a blast for being a one year old around a million kids screaming like hethans. Apparently the American tradition is to have a small child receive their own cake and let them flail themselves about with their little appendeges and digits just everywhere...ok I guess. So we did just that. He loved his cake and ate it too ;) he really got in there and dug around, shocking acutally. We set up an account for Maddox and when asked what he 'needs' for his Birthday we just directed them towards cash giving, best idea I've ever had. He has more toys, clothes, hats, shoes, onsies, blankets, stuffed animals, bibs, lotions and binkies you could shake a stick at. So money is what he was given, oh and some cute clothes, hats, shoes, toys and pj's haha!

                           Not so sure of that mouse guy...

His DARLING sock monkey GG Henderson made!

Cake Time!!

Looking alittle over stimulated at this point 

 

Fun meter is below empty for the Birthday Boy

            Most of our family and Maddox's favorite Aunts, notice that's plural ladies attended the birthday bash. I'm not sure if I got pictures of anyone else other than the Birthday boy and us with the mouse guy. In attendance were the Manning and Whittle family. Both sets of grandparents Jones and Henderson. Great granparents, the Richards. Our other family the Brintons, minus Jordann because she's in Africa eating only roots and bananas apparently. My take on that is a great way to shed some LB's, just sayn'. Uncle Taylor and Aunt April with the baking fetus, Bryten. Aunts Chelsea and Crystal. Aunts/Uncles Brianna/Jake, Cassi/Bry. The Robertsons klan are hosting the chicken pox virus so we missed them. We also missed the Roberts, Reinertson and the Clune family . We had a great friend L'erin and her boys Nixon and Boston who attended our party at 1 instead of 5:30, she said she had a great time even tho we weren't there yet...haha. Love ya L'er!
