Birthday Boy!

Ben woke up to lots of balloons and Angry Birds decorations on November 19th...his 7th birthday!  Wish we could have just celebrated the day away, but time for school!  He enjoyed his day at school, getting lots of "Feliz Cumpleanos!" from teachers and friends.  And, Mom brought in snacks and goody bags to share.

 

We had a bit of a rushed celebration of presents and cake after dinner and before Beaver Scouts.  Lots of great gifts from family...just wished Ben was able to give big thank you hugs in person. 

Yummy homemade vanilla cake with raspberry frosting.  Make a wish!!  Poor Nathalie wasn't able to enjoy the party...she was on the couch with a fever.  :(  You know a kid is sick when they pass on birthday cake, right?

Saturday, November 23rd was Ben's friend party at Mountain View Bowl.  We were a bit worried about being responsible for 10 kiddos for 2 hours, but the kids were so well-behaved and had so much fun bowling!

After bowling, we moved into the party room for cake, games, and presents. 

 

 

"Pin the Tail on the Red Bird" was funny...the tail ended up in some crazy places!  And, Ben's friends were so generous...now he has a whole new set of fun toys and books to play with.  What a great week Ben had turning 7!
