Kensuke's Bday

Nicholas didn't get a chance to say goodbye to his best friend from school because Kensuke and his family were on vacation on Nicholas' last day of school.  (Nicholas' school is technically still in session, but I stopped taking Nicholas when Jaden school let out for the year.  It's a long story, not worth blogging about.)

Any hoo, we found out that Kensuke was going to be celebrating his birthday at school today, so I took Nicholas back to school for the party.  The look on their faces was priceless when we walked in the room!  They were SOOOO happy to see each other!!  They have such a sweet friendship!!  Unfortunately Kensuke and his family are moving back to Japan this summer, so we won't see them next year.  :-(

Home made "piñata" for the class - goes to show, you don't have to have
a fancy piñata for kids to have a blast!

big swing Nicholas!

Nicholas didn't rip it open, but he did rip a leg off!  Go Nicholas!!

Good bye Kensuke!  We'll miss you next year!!
