Sorry I'm so late posting about Howie's birthday. We had some technical difficulties.
His birthday was on Tuesday, Nov. 11th. We started of the day with a junk food breakfast of hashbrowns from McDonald's. Then we let Howie have his big presents: a trampoline from Mama & Daddy & a tractor from Grancy. He loved them both! He immediately knew what the trampoline was for (he's always been a big jumper). And he even wore the hard hat that came with the tractor. Later that morning we had a playdate with Ryland, Jojo, & Isabelle. The trampoline was a big hit! We also had Howie's ride-on Thomas out. Then we went out to lunch at a Thai restaurant. Howie digs spring rolls & noodles! We spent the afternoon at Gab Gab beach, which is here on base. Howie has always been a water bug! He's a little too brave for mama sometimes. After that, we went out to the playground for the evening, which is a regular thing around here. We usually run into our neighbors out there.

On the Saturday after his birthday, we had a pool party here at the house. It was small & relaxed, but lots of fun! We had two pools out, so the kids liked running back & forth jumping into them both. Howie preferred the inflatable one with the slide cause it was low enough for him to jump into. It's nice having the playground right in the backyard, & all the kids ended up there eventually. And, as you'll see in the video, plastic slides & wet swim trunks make a fun mix (although maybe not the safest). Then we had a good old fashioned barbeque & tractor cake for dessert! The cake looked more like a jeep to me, but all the kids knew what it was. Howie opened a couple of his gifts that night (with some help), but we saved most of them for the next day so he wouldn't get too overwhelmed.
We missed all our family & friends, but I'm pretty sure Howie still had a wonderful birthday.
