Ben's 5th Birthday

We held Ben's 5th birthday party at a local bowling alley. We hosted about 13 kids, ages ranging from 2-11, and everyone had a great time! Here are some photos of Ben's big day!

A dinosaur cake, of course!

Ben with a few of his best buds: Owen, Cooper, Drew and Ben.

Randy and I had a good time helping Logan bowl. They had a really cool "guide" to help Logan bowl---which lasted about 2 rounds. When he saw how the "big kids" were bowling (without the aide of the guide) he wanted to do it like them!

Logan and his buddy Oliver, loved hanging out at the ball return. They would elbow each other out of the way to be the first to catch it!

We were so happy that Paty (our nanny) and her girls (Evelyn and Montserrat) joined us for the birthday party! The girls were very good at bowling!

After an hour of bowling, we all enjoyed some pizza in the party area....

...And then it was cake and ice cream time! Ben loved blowing out all of his candles!

And as Ben was unwrapping birthday gifts, Logan was snatching them and hiding away under the tables to start playing with them! Sneaky little guy...

Ben had a wonderful time at his birthday party. Randy and I are so blessed to have such a beautiful, intelligent, and healthy 5 year old. We can still remember like it was yesterday, heading into the hospital on a cold and drizzly winter evening in labor with him. Unbelievable to us, it has been 5 years! We have loved every day and look forward to watching him continue to grow and develop. We love you Ben!
