I had been telling Benjamin that his birthday was coming up for a few days. He was so excited! He would ask, "Can I have a cake?" and "Candles...can I blow them?" He would also ask if he would get any presents. It was sweet.
Well on his birthday, I took Ben and Derek to the park in the morning and we had a picnic. It was a beautiful day and the playground is one of Ben's all-time favorite places to go. He never wanted to leave. After Derek went to Kindergarten, Ben said he wanted to go to Walmart...so he and I wandered up and down the toy isles (he loves to do that!) and then I let him pick out a treat as we left. At 2, he's pretty low-maintenance.
In the evening we had to juggle around Parent-Teacher Conferences and Tyler's scouts, but we were still able to pull off the birthday stuff.
We of course sang to him and had cupcakes and ice cream...
Ben was too excited about the cupcakes...he didn't want to pose for a picture...
This is Ben and his big present with the very creative wrapping paper (i.e. Derek's blanket)! I didn't realize his jammies matched so well...
Benjamin LOVES basketball and could hardly wait for Kev to put his new basketball hoop together so he could play.
He was trying to make baskets before it was even vertical...
He was so excited to play!!! He loved "making shots" and "dunking"!
He is a sweet sweet boy and I can't believe how fast the time has flown....sigh.

Happy Birthday Ben! It's so crazy he's already 2! It is crazy to think that Kyran is only 4 months away from that..it goes way too fast! Sounds like he had a good day. Hope everything goes well with your delivery, since you are due any day now!! Take care!
