Happy Birthday Benjamin!

by teresa

I’m wishing you another year
Of laughter, joy and fun,
Surprises, love and happiness,
And when your birthday’s done,
I hope you feel deep in your heart,
As your birthdays come and go,
How very much you mean to us,
More than you can ever know!

Today is Benny's 8th birthday.
The family all went out after church and celebrated with Red Robin burgers and bottomless baskets of fries. mmmmmm
The staff sang to him...tied a balloon to his arm and gave him a free hot fudge sundae.
We plan to continue the celebrating tomorrow (the kids are out of school for presidents day)with a day of movies and a trip to Mt. Trashmore park. I know it's cold...but Ben wants to play with his new ball and practice skating on his heelys.
He was blessed with many, many wonderful and thoughtful gifts. He is also proud to have $170 to spend as he wishes. That's with his Christmas money added in. That kid has a hard time parting with his money. Not like Nick and Lauren...who would spend it an hour after that party was over. Although Lauren is not like that with money anymore since having her job.
Here's some pictures from our afternoon together.

It was a great weekend ... I love party weekends! Only thing is, they are growing up way too fast.

Happy Birthday. Isn't Red Robbin the best for burgers?
