Again there are a lot of pictures and videos in this post. Have to make Bens' grandparents feel like they were here at the party!
Here is Bens' birthday cake. It is Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. We made it the day before the party.
Our sushi appetizers. Best idea ever! I found this online. It is a gummy worm in the middle with rice krispies treats rolled around it and wrapped up in fruit roll ups as the sea weed. Now that is my style of sushi!
Here is our Monster Bean bag toss. Bens did pretty well with it. Thanks to Daniel who put this all together!
When the guests started coming we made monster masks for the kids to wear. Bens showing off his mask, it only last long enough for the picture!
Here is a video of Benson and Chandler sharing the computer chair. They are actually becoming quite good friends.
Posing for the camera!
Here are a couple videos of Bens opening his presents.
Bens got pretty excited about this present and forgot about opening the others for a little bit!
Here is Bens' puzzle book he got.
Bens showing off his new basket from my Aunt. He walked around for a bit and then just collapsed on the ground.
Bens got a Big Boy Potty... we will see how that goes! Here he is trying to open the jumbo crayons to color in his new coloring book.
The birthday boy wasn't sure what he was supposed to do with the candles! Maybe next year he will get the idea a little better!
Here are some classic cake eating shots!
Here are the decorations and everybody enjoying the cake.
On Saturday evening we opened presents from Bens' grandparents. Here he is looking at a new book from Grandma and Gramps. He is also wearing his new monkey backpack/harness. He seems to like it so far but we will see once we take it for a trial run!
Here is Bens showing off his new from towel from Nana and Papa. He really did like wearing it!
He had a great birthday! Thanks to everyone that came to the party. You helped make it a really fun day for him.
It is hard to believe that he is already a 2 year old! I feel like I was just pregnant with him not that long ago and now he is walking, talking and running around about to be a big brother. He is such a fun little guy and we love him to bits! Hope everybody has a great day and enjoyed the pictures!
