Birthday

We celebrated Benson's birthday this past weekend in good old Pirate Style!  I let Benson decide what he wanted to have for a cake this year and he said he wanted a treasure chest.

I now know what I would do different next time...have a solid base instead of piecing it together.  I know that sounds so obvious!

The party was in the morning so we served fruit and punch... I also wasn't into making tons of stuff this year!

Sterling decided he wanted to chill with Benson for a while.

This a clip of a few of the presents that Benson got.  He got treated really well this year.  Some of the big presents not shown are his new big boy bike with training wheels (he also now has a helmet to go with it) Weeble Wobble slide that is also a present for Kimber's birthday and last night he got an mp3 player.  It is great, he thinks it is an iPod and loves that he can listen to it whenever he wants.  Yes Bethany, I am borrowing you page as those are really cute pictures of Benson and Kimber.  Scroll down Bethany's post and you will see the pictures I am talking about!

This might seem weird but Bens was super excited for this present and the next one!

We ended the party by doing a treasure hunt for the favor bags.  I think the kids enjoyed that a lot and it was a good excuse to get some of the bodies out of the house... it was a tad bit full!  Ok, I have tried to upload a video of the hunt but can't seem to make it work so just take my word for it that it was beautiful outside and the kids had fun!
