Benjamin's Birthday Bash!

Once our boys turn five, they get to have a birthday party with friends every other year.  This year was Benjamin's first friend birthday party. He has been talking about it for weeks.  Benjamin invited 4 friends and they all came. We started at our house with pizza, cupcakes and ice cream, followed by opening presents.  Then we loaded all 6 kids (Benjamin and Britton included) and Caden into our 12 passenger van and headed to Planet Kid for a wild time.  By the time I got all the kids buckled in, I was exhausted!  Luckily, the boys got to run wild at Planet kid and had a great time!  When the party was over, we drove the boys home just in time to get the boys ready for bed.

Next on the longest birthday weekend ever we had a family birthday party on Sunday.  Benjamin requested pancakes for dinner so we had pancakes, sausage, eggs and fruit.  Everyone loved dinner.  After dinner Benjamin got to open even more presents, which he loved, and then we got to have cake. Benjamin doesn't like cake, so this year we got him a Baskin Robins birthday cake and it was super yummy.  Benjamin had a great birthday and birthday weekend.  We are lucky to have that cute little boy.

 Blowing out the candles on his cupcake. Note the uneaten pizza.  He was too excited to eat.  When we got home that night he ate the cold pizza and a bread stick.

 Playing in the ball pit. The whole time the kids were playing in there, all I could think about was the horrible reports about what is in the bottom of those things.  The boys loved it though.
