Ben's birthday

Birthday buddies -- Ben and Grandma Cairney
making sure that he gets all of those candles

working on the new Lego set

SO excited about the new LEGO CITY police set

and a couple of new footballs!!!!

Ben was excited to start his birthday.....waking up close to his exact birth time that morning he immediately tore into his gifts! He LOVED his new LEGO's and footballs, and was also blessed with many other gifts, cards and phone calls that week. For dinner we went to visit Papa and Grandma C. (as it is also her birthday on the 18th) and spent the evening celebrating with them and Uncle Jim. Ben was very detailed in what kind of cake that he wanted, "I want it to be 3 layers of DARK chocolate cake with white frosting in between each layer, then chocolate frosting over everything with rainbow sprinkles on the top!" and believe it or not, I was able to do just that. He loved it and it was very good! May you have a fantastic year being 7 buddy. You are such a special boy and I am very blessed to be your Mom -- I love you!!!! XOXOXOX
