SUgaR ........all sooooooo much for coming to his party! and he loves all the treats and new toys!!


opening his present from maggie sullivan the night before (her mom had to go to a human birthday party and wasn't going to make the party)


getting ready to leave for his birthday party...



henry was EXHAUSTED when we got home from his party. he crashed!




still tired the next morning...didn't jump out of bed as usual.

and when i left for work this is what he was doing...


as i'm looking around at all my friends who came to the party, either with their dog or not, i think to myself how silly we are to be singing 'happy birthday' to my dog. maybe some people sincerely were celebrating henry turning two with me. or maybe it's because we are all (mostly) single and have nothing else better to do with our weekend. or maybe it's just a silly excuse to have a party and fellowship together.
well that last one was my reason for having the party. yes i think i can get away with being silly and having a birthday party for my dog! but the fun part was meeting everyone's dog and just hanging out on a beautiful afternoon. it made me wonder why we need excuses to get together. but we do. god made us to connect to others so i think we all enjoy friendships for a good reason. i'm grateful to all my friends for coming out and spending time with me and henry on their afternoon...i think he had more people at his birthday party than i did!!! :)
