Happy Happy 3rd Birthday Ben!

I am still in disbelief that we have a 3 year old. In some ways I can't believe it has been 3 years since Ben joined our family and in other ways it feels like we have had him forever. Vince took off work for Ben's birthday so we got to spend the whole day together as a family! In keeping with tradition after Ben went to bed we decorated his room with balloons. Friday morning he came running into our room yelling..."Baboons Baboons! My Room Is Full Of Baboons"! We played and played in the balloons and finally had to tear him away so we could go to Lamars to get birthday donuts!
After breakfast it was time to open presents! I'm not sure what his favorite gift was but his Jake the Pirate sword seems to be getting the most action!


After opening presents and playing with all his new stuff we went to pick out Ben's traditional birthday cupcake!
Then it was off to Fritz's for lunch! GG wanted to join us which made Ben very happy! Vince had never been to the original location so we headed to KCK to the original Fritz's. Ben had a great time!
After lunch it was definitely time for a nap! After a nice snoozer it was off to the movies! We went to go see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs II! We hadn't actually seen the first movie but we did enjoy the second! Ben had a ball! He ate his weight in popcorn and really enjoyed the movie!
After the movie and after dinner it was birthday cupcake time! Of course after we sang and he blew out his candles he took one bite of his cupcake and decided that mine looked much yummier!
We are so excited to say goodbye to the terrible two's and see what the troublesome three's have in store for us this next year! The skies the limit Benny Boo!


***
I guess I should address the black eye Ben is sporting. Tuesday was a rough day at school for Ben. first a kid ran full speed into him and hit him right on his cheekbone then a few minutes later the same kid pushed him (accidentally) into a metal railing and he hit the same darn spot. I guess I shouldn't say I'm surprised since we have Ben's 3 year pics/family pics scheduled for Saturday.
