Today is Ben's 1st birthday. Happy birthday, Ben! We are thrilled to have him in our family. He is a funny boy. We had a fun little party for him complete with a dance choreographed by his sisters, cake, and presents. At dinner we talked with the kids about when they were born and also their first birthdays. When Allison was little I was pretty careful about the things she ate, etc. You know, first kid. I found a recipe for a healthy cake...it was a carrot cake from scratch and probably had whole wheat flour, who knows what else, and no sugar in it. Also a special frosting that didn't have all the sugar in it. Well, it didn't really matter what was in the cake because she wasn't interested in eating it. I learned my lesson. So here is Mr. Ben enjoying his sugary chocolate cake with black frosting. And he did enjoy it for sure!
We had to keep wrangling him in to open presents, since he hasn't quite grasped that concept yet. However, once they were out he did have fun playing with the toys. I would have to say his favorite is from Aunt Lori & Uncle James. Here is a video of him playing with his new cars. He was cracking up!
Happy birthday little guy!
