Birthday Week

Everyone needs a whole week to celebrate their birthday right? Benjamin started his birthday week with an impromptu party at Hallmark, of course. There were balloons, a present, story time, and a bunch of Benjamin's favorite people.

He doesnt look very excited in this picture but trust me he was.

Reading books with Grandma

Reading more books with Jessica

After storytime Mrs. Linda came in with a surprise for Ben.

Adorable little fireman!!

The morning of his birthday we met Abigail, Colin and Joel at the mall to ride the carousel.

After we came home and had a nap Benjamin helped mommy frost the cupcakes. He's such a good helper ;-)

Later Grandma Burley, Uncle Will and Aunt Rachel came over for a few presents and cupcakes.

YUM!!

On Sunday Jennifer and Leigh came up for more cake, presents, and play time with Royleigh and Elizabeth. Tony was also home for spring break.

Reading books with his cousin.

Three very adorable children!

Blowing out his candles all by himself!

The past year has flown by! My baby boy is no longer a baby:-( He is growing up to be a handsome little man! It still amazes me how much he has learned and continues to learn. He has become a little parrot and repeats anything anyone says. He can also narrate all of Finding Nemo and Up. So if you havent seen either of those movies, don't come watch them at our house... he'll spoil all the good parts ;-D Cars seem to be the only toys that matter at the moment. He spends the day seeing how many he can carry, then gets really upset when they fall out of his arms.

Although I definitely understand why they call them "terrible twos" I also think this age is a lot of fun! I still can't imagine my life without this amazing little guy. I can't wait for all of the new adventures in store for the coming next year.
