Ben's 4th BIrthday!

Ben is now 4!! Hard to believe. He is growing up so quickly! He enjoyed his "two" birthdays. On his actual birthday (Apr 3), we had a family party for him. This consisted of his choice for dinner - you can guess where we went - McDonald's, and then opeing presents from family. His "second" birthday was today at the house with a few friends and a guest of honor who can be seen in some later pictures.
He received a dinosaur Webkinz and a shirt from Uncle Joel and Aunt Natalie. He opened the shirt and proceeded to tell us the "loved the smell" of it!! He cracks me up!

Ben was very excited to have some more GeoTrax! This is the new Thomas in our house.

He was very excited to receive some Littelest Pet Shops from Kari and Grandma Ann. This is about as girlie as we can get with toys in this house. However he did want a Barbie "with a dog". I can't see that one getting by Chris.

This was a very cool gift from Mommy and Daddy. It is a police helmet with a handheld console that tells him what mission he is on. He loves it.

Sam loves it too!

Sharing some cupcakes.

Ben's Thomas cake. It survivde Chris' parenting skills of watching Sam, and Sam's love of cake! We learned our lesson and had the cake up high where Sam could not reach it. And Chris kept Sam locked in the basement with him while I was at physio this morning! It worked!

The Birthday Boy! (Ham)


Our special guest "Crackers" the clown and Ben the helper. She was fabulous. She did a few magic tricks which included adding real ingredients to a bowl and magically making it into a cupcake just for Ben. She also made some balloon animals and did some face painting. I hope he will remember it forever.
