Henry's 1st BirthDAY! (Not what we expected)

Henry's 1st Birthday was on Thursday.  Daddy had to work and we had just had family in town for his & Charlie's birthday party so didn't plan anything big for his actual birthday.  I had planned to take them to the park and then do a little family thing that evening.

Then this happened.

Yes, that is cocoa powder all over the laundry room floor.  

My little chef helper named Charlie remembered that this glorious box of brown powder is what made his birthday cake taste like chocolate.  In the FIVE minutes I left him alone to shower, he must have thought it'd be a tasty little snack for him, Henry & our two doggies. You see all the claw marks in the cocoa?  Well, it was all over our pups' nose and face too.  

Off to the emergency vet we went.  

We spent the entire morning of Henry's 1st Birthday in the waiting room of the vet clinic.. praying that our doggies were okay.  Luckily they didn't eat enough to hurt them after all!  Whew. And on the positive side when we run the shop vac now it produces a chocolatey scent! Mmm.

When we got home Henry was in need of a nap.  His big brother decided he shouldn't have to nap on his birthday... so he turned the last half of his naptime into a crib party!

After that day.. we decided to keep it simple with some brownies & ice cream to celebrate our Henry's special day.  He didn't seem to mind a bit. 

Happy 1st Birthday Angel boy!  We love you more than you can imagine!
