Ben asked and asked
when it would be his birthday.
Waiting as patient as a 4 yr old can,
through all our birthdays that come
at the end of the year.
FINALLY,
the day came.
I think we were just as excited
because we couldn't handle any
more questions!!
The big 5 years old!!
We got the traditional birthday sign up,
decorated his chair at the dinner table
and relieved him of all his chores for the day.
Which is music to our kids ears.
He is one special and happy kid!!
Sometimes.
It's hard being the oldest boy in the house
squished between 3 sisters.
But he does ok,
especially with Dad helping him.
Mom's skills with icing.
I think 1/2 the chocolate icing went into little
fingers that kept sneaking by and swiping the sides.
But eventually it all turned out!
Focused on the five candles.
One last smile for the camera!!
Waiting to remember what he wants to
"wish for"!
He got a dino pillow pet from the grandparents,
a puzzle, a car for his "guys" and
more imaginex guys.
Plus a new backpack for kindergarten
(coming soon)!!
The next day we went to Chuck E. Cheese
as a family to celebrate.
