…birthday parties in the yard, complete with cake and kiddie pool. This was the birthday party of one of Will’s pals, who is clearly excited that he is turning five! His friends are, too.
Happy Birthday, Ian!
Henry came along, and thought he was just one of the gang. I even overheard him telling one of the nursery school crew that he was four. I’m completely serious.
It all went fine until his cake capsized and landed on someone else’s toe. And that someone else ate it off his own toe. Henry was distressed, mostly that someone else ate his cake.
And Will was thrilled to be reunited with his nursery school buddy. Seems they had a lot to catch up on! This is my Best Shot Monday.
Wishing you a summer filled with backyards, cake and kiddie pools. Bring on the sunshine!

Your BSM is so sweet with the buddies hanging out and talking over burgers…I can’t get over the poor spilt cake shot. I feel for him.

Those are all great shots — the joy in the first shot is just unbeatable!

That last shot is priceless. I know my daughter would eat cake of her toe or possibly someone else’s toe. Looks like you guys had a great time!

Oh, those are all so great! I love the second one with henry eating his cake…just so cute! And, I’d just like to be there to hear the conversation during that last one!

That is exactly what I look like when I drop a piece of cake. You should see me when I spill a drink! Thanks for sharing these wonderful shots.

I LOVE that first photo! Happy kids at a happy birthday party! Great, great job of capturing the quintessential picture of childhood and summer. Thanks for sharing!

Anna, your photos are so beautiful. A far cry from the fuzzy snapshots of my childhood, that’s for sure.
Thank you for that latest round of RS casting emails. I could use some new makeup! (I’m sure competition if fierce but I had to give it a shot!)

Wonderful shots! Looks like the boys had a great time at the party, too.
June 25, 2008 at 11:33 am |
Oh man, do I love that last shot! What adorable boys (says a proud Mama).
