Good Morning Birthday boy
tearing into his presents
Once the lego's are opened, we go immediately into construction mode.....
a monster cupcake from a friend and some of his birthday blessings!
Waiting a week to celebrate his birthday after his sister often feels like pure torture for Mr. Ben, but it was well worth the wait as you can see. He woke up to his room decorated and fun "8" things around the house. He invited me to celebrate his "lunch hour" with him enjoying a subway sandwich and then we all enjoyed some "monster cupcakes" with dinner that our friend brought over. They were so cute and very YUMMY!! It was cool and rainy all day long, so Ben was bummed about not being able to get out and try his new football & new T. He even said to me, "You know Mom, when it's rainy on your birthday, it's like you don't even get to have a birthday!" Isn't it amazing how an 8 year old interprets a cold, dreary day?? I reassured him that beautiful weather was ahead and that we would "party" outside very soon!
As I look back on the past 8 years, so much has changed with you Ben.....not just your hair (-; Mostly, I absolutely LOVE being your Mom and am so very blessed to have you in my life. God has blessed you with boundless energy, legs that never stop running, hands that are always drumming and such a tender soul that can melt your Mom's heart each and every time. I hope that you had a great birthday, and am so very proud of the boy that you are growing up to be. Many more birthday blessings to you Boy Blue!!! I love you ~~~~ XOXOXOXOX~~~~~ Mom
