The Big Two

What a birthday weekend. We spent all Friday evening and Saturday getting ready for Ben's big 2 yr birthday bash. Everyone had a great time, despite the disappointment of rain. Today was a special day for Ben. Upon waking up he was ushered downstairs by Hannah to find wonderful presents and cards waiting for him. His faves: the TONKA CLASSICS Dump Truck and Matchbox Skybusters airplanes. He and Hannah played all morning long.

Later in the day we went to Chuck E Cheese's for some good birthday fun, a birthday crown and, of course, pizza. The kids scarfed down three slices each. After 50 tokens worth of fun, we came home and ate cupcakes.

I think Ben enjoyed having the spotlight for a change.


Then he ate his cupcake with no hands.


Last week at Toy's R Us, he thought the balloon was great and got another birthday crown.


So we're sorry we don't have more fun pictures, the digital camera is broken for now. We'll try to keep up with posts this summer as best we can. thanks to everyone who sent cards for Ben, he really enjoyed this birthday to the fullest (I think he's going to be sad tomorrow when he wakes up and it's not his birthday anymore). Don't worry, though, we have one more party when Daddy's family comes up in a few weeks. Love you all!
