Happy Half Decade, Henry!

I had a big time birthday yesterday!  I am 5 years old now and think I'm pretty big stuff!  We were at the lake for the weekend, so we had a lake party first.
I picked a Whopper cake for there - YUM!
Meekin wanted to help me blow out the candles.  I was not happy, but tolerant. 
A boy and his Gram! 
The next morning, on my real birthday, I got to open presents from Mom and Dad.  The first one I picked was clothes, to which I replied, "CLOTHES??!!" and tossed them aside.

The second one I picked was books, to which my reply was, "BOOKS??  GRRRRRR!!!!" 
The next one was a wonderfully soft sheep blanket that I'd been lusting after at Costco.  Meekin and I buried ourselves in it and didn't cause any more trouble!  For the record, I did decide I liked my new shirts and books, I just really wanted the good stuff first! 
When we got home, it was time for another cake!  Lemon was my choice this time. 
I was prepared for Meekin this time and really wanted to blow the candles out myself. 
Is an arms length far enough for him to not be able to blow? 
Apparently not...He got one.  He was mad. 
And so was I! 
The cake was yummy and I had a good birthday anyway!
