Happy 6th Birthday, Ben!

Ben has been looking forward to his birthday for a long time... and the day finally arrived!  He was so excited for his first birthday party that he didn't want to eat breakfast, but we made him a plate anyway.

Since Ben and Kara's birthdays are so close and they both enjoy Legos, we decided to have a combined party with a Lego demo.

A few of Ben's friends were out of town for the holiday weekend, but Ben had lot of fun with Luke, Chase and Adam.

Dessert, Legos and Star Wars is definitely a winning combination for our Ben!

It's hard to believe that Ben is already six... He is reading, playing the piano, and learning how to skateboard.  He loves making his own Lego creations.  He has 8th grade friends that he plays soccer with.  He is growing up fast!

On Thanksgiving, out of the blue, he came down with a fever and while he was lying on my lap he said, "Mom, I still feel little.  Maybe we can find Neverland so that I can just stay little."  He is so sweet.... that's why he'll always be my sugar.
