Ben's birthday started with a traditional scavenger hunt to find his presents. He woke up in the morning with the first clue taped to his bedroom door. He raced around with Paul finding clue after clue until he found his presents.
Then it was time to get ready for school and celebrate some more. Justin, Amanda, and I were able to bring treats to his class and watch as his teacher and classmates sang to him. He was his typical self during this- 70% pure discomfort and 30% joy from getting so much attention :)
Later that day, Ben had his first "friends"party. He really wanted to have it at an indoor trampoline park, Fly High. He had trouble deciding which friends from his class to invite, so we invited the whole class. His entire class, except for one kid RSVP'd "yes". We ordered extra pizzas and squeezed everyone in. They all had a great time. The highlight for most of the kids was ganging up against Justin in a game of dodge ball.
As if 3 celebrations weren't enough, we had our traditional family party in our backyard that weekend as well. We are so blessed to have so much family close by!
After the party, Ben was exhausted and enjoyed playing with his new toys/gifts at home.
As a present from Austin and Keely, they took Ben and Asher to the Monster Truck Rally AND let him have a sleepover. He loves gifts like this- special time spent with people he loves.
I think it's fair to say that Ben was spoiled with love and attention this year!
