Today Howie turned 7! Wow! We had an awesome birthday party at the USO in their private theater with some of Howie's closest friends. Howie's actually quite popular, so we had a full house with every seat filled. Howie loves High School Musical, so that's what we watched, then we opened presents and had cake. The time when by so fast and the kids had a blast dancing to the music. Last year we decided that since we have quite a few kids now they only get a party every other year. This was our first year not having a party at home and it was so nice not having to clean up, also the mess was minimal at the theater.
Here is Howie and his friends enjoying the movie with their drinks and popcorn (the USO provided it free.)
Howie blowing out the candle on his cake. We had no leftovers which was great because I'm not a huge fan of cake and I didn't want to take it back home.
This is separate from Howie's birthday, but it happened tonight during dinner. The following is part of our dinner conversation that I just had to share.
Erin: Mommy, how old were you when you first kissed a boy?
Mommy: I was 14. Maybe you should ask Daddy that question. (I had a smirk on my face because Howard was a wild child and his first kiss was WAY before mine. He was in 3rd grade and I'm sure he didn't want to share his history.)
Erin: Daddy, how old was Mommy when she first kissed a boy?
Howard: She was 14. (And he left it at that, very relieved to have dodged that question.)
