Benjamin's Birthday Celebration

As Benjamin's birthday fell on a Sunday this year, we decided to pull a Wattermann and celebrate it the day before.

Friday found us making decorations and having an all around good time.

John was my faithful helper,

And Rosie was Rebecca's. (who did not get in any of the pictures because she took them all)

We worked on making paper chains for a good 2 hours to be sure we had enough.

In the end we came up with this.

Early Saturday morning we decorated the dining room so that it looked nice,

And put up posters to be sure Benjamin knew it was his birthday. :)

Benjamin opened his presents at breakfast, and as you can see, was very pleased with the contents.

Benjamin's best friend Christopher came over to help Benjamin with his current tractor rebuild project.


They had a great time, learned a lot, and even made a bit of progress. Great job guys!

After dinner it was time for cake. Benjamin is now old enough to light his own birthday candles. :)

While we were singing 'Happy Birthday' he was laughing so hard he blew out all but one of the candles before we were finished.

Happy Birthday to my one and only, favorite bigger little brother!
