Benjamin's 2nd Birthday!

Well Benjamin turned 2 on June 4th but we didn't have his party until Saturday, June 7th
(which was the planned date - which ended up being perfect because of the hand, foot and mouth
virus and not being able to be around anyone until he got better!)
We are so excited that we had lots of his little friends (and their parents) to help celebrate his birthday ...
along with my parents and sister!
A Few Funny Things (caught on camera!):
Lili (isn't she a doll!) trying to get into the dumptruck with Benjamin .. still in the box!
Benjamin couldn't blow out any candles ... because they wouldn't light!
The only time the WHOLE entire day that the wind actually blew!
AND the nice finger prints in the cake!
OH ... and might I add that the beach ball ended up looking more like
the Pepsi symbol than a red (PINK!!) , white and green beach ball...
Abby and Emma having a blast in the sandbox!
Abby, Benjamin and Lili playing with the squirting beachball!
(a b-day gift... we had to open right then and there!)
The group picture ... where you can see - 3 kids (including Benjamin) ... crying and trying to get up as quickly as possible!
Benjamin in his "NEW CAR" that he just couldn't wait to get into ... no roof even yet!
Jonathan trying to help Bridger into the squirting ball... no go!
Benjamin highly enjoying his cheetos!
And one of my favorite pictures: a typical 2 year old party ...
no 2 kids really playing TOGETHER and each doing his/her own thing!
We had a great time and we were glad that the EXTREME heat held off until after the party! I was a little bummed that we didn't get a family picture ... who forgets to take that?? But at least we were all there!

So cute! I'm bummed we couldn't make it - Paul was working! Thanks for posting the pictures though, looks like it was tons of fun! Hope you guys have fun at Dollywood this week - wish we could be there - July is pretty free for us, so we HAVE to plan a day to get together. I'll email you our new address!
