Ben doesn’t officially turn 4 until Wednesday, but this weekend he got to celebrate his birthday with Nashville family and bunch of his school friends. Ben spends a lot of time being the little brother lagging behind Tabby – just the way it is when they’re two years apart – and it was awesome to make so much time and effort all about him.
He chose Chuck E Cheese for his b’day. He was adamant. And it was a great choice in many ways. I didn’t have to do a lot and he LOVED it. We had fun with rides and games, pizza and cake.
He loved all the clapping and singing and being the undisputed center of attention.
His cute cake came from Costco and they didn’t disappoint. It was tasty too.
He got to go into the ticket blaster WITH DADDY. Where Daddy successfully caught the 1000 ticket voucher and stuffed it into Ben’s crown.
There was a gift-free-for-all that I didn’t capture. Ben got many nice gifts from his friends. Then there was more time in kiddie-vegas and eventually back home for dinner and a couple more presents with the whole family.
…. including a new bike from Mommy and Daddy since he outrgrew his old one. He was pretty darn excited.
I’m sure if you asked him, he’d probably say the best part of his day was Chuck E Cheese. But I know what he really loved was hanging out with all the people he loves best.
And us with him.
Glad Ben had such a nice birthday weekend.
We love you, and we loved getting to spend 4 fun filled and crazy days with you celebrating your birthday!
