Mommy's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Here's a tub of Ben and Marys!!!!



Today was My mom's birthday. She and Nana had to learn about fruit for thier class today, so they made fruit platters... and then, I got to help Nana and Aunt Charie-ah make a BIRTHDAY CAKE!



Mom has a hard time blowing out candles, so Aunt Charie-ah put all 24 in a tight heart shape for her... It was fun to sing around a real fire on the cake!

Benny really liked it!



By the time we got the pool of wax and wilted flowers off, it looked yummier than ever.


I got Mom to give me the first piece, and then, when I ate that one, I got another piece!



Nana gave Baby Ben his first three bites of cake... he thought he needed more, too.



Ben and I talked it over, and for Mom's birthday, (since she just wanted a nap...) we decided the best present from us would be to go to bed early. So we did (well on time anyway), and I only ask for one story, and I didn't even cry. Neither did Ben. He fell asleep with Papa, and didn't wake up when they put him in bed:)

Emily, I am just in love with Mary and Ben. I'm so sad that you weren't able to make it out here. Please give them both a big squeeze and a kiss from me. LOVE YOU!!
