Party Time!

We had a birthday party for Ben today with a bunch of his friends.  He was SO excited that he could hardly wait for 1:00 to come.  He requested a Spider Man party, so that is what he got.  We had all kinds of webs around the house.

The kids were all given Spider Man masks that they had fun racing around in. 

In the first picture:  Emma, Nash, Jett, Joey, Liam, Ben, Landon

After a few games, the kids got to have spider cupcakes.  I made them last night, and wasn’t impressed when I opened the lid and the icing hadn’t held up.  Oh well, the kids didn’t seem to notice!

After cupcakes and ice cream, Ben (finally) got to open his presents!  He has such good friends.  It was fun to watch their excitement for him.

The party ended at 3:00 and all the boys went home… and then I got started on making lasagna rollups for dinner tonight!  We were going to do his birthday dinner with my parents tomorrow on his birthday, but Dave & Nysha moved up their baby blessing to tomorrow, so we moved everything up so that my mom and dad could be there!

Lennard ordered a DQ ice cream cake for our family dinner and Ben was thrilled that it had Spider Man on it!  How is it possible that he’s five years old tomorrow!  The time has gone by so incredibly fast!

He was definitely excited for more presents!  His expressions in these pictures make me laugh.

He got a Kubota tractor from Aunt Alicia and a ‘meccano’ set from Emma.

Grandpa Nichols bought him Lego and Grandpa & Grandma Murray bought him a watch, some pencils and candy.

We bought him some airplanes (what else?!) from the movie ‘Fire and Rescue’.  I loved that as soon as we were done, the boys had the Lego out and were all building together.  It’s been such a fun day.  I’m totally exhausted!
