Birthday Party

Since Landon's party was held on Ben's birthday, Ben got to have his party today!  He was so excited for his friends to arrive.  He wanted everything Star Wars, so we played 'Clone, Clone, Droid' (Duck, Duck, Goose), Musical Chairs - to the Empire Strikes Back music, shooting lasers (silly string) at a target, keeping BB8 (orange balloons) from touching the ground and a few other silly little games.  The kids thought it was hilarious.  They jumped on the trampoline, played on the playhouse, and ate cupcakes.

Then, when it was time to open presents, we had the kids roll a die to see if they could get a six.  If they did, then they got to give their present to Ben.  It took up a little time, and the kids loved it.

Ben is so lucky to have such good friends.  It was a fun afternoon.

As soon as we got everyone gone, and cleaned everything up, it was time for Lennard and I to leave for the Volunteer Appreciation dinner down at the Reunion Center.  The babysitter was about 15 minutes early, so she entertained the kids while we got ready!  It was a great dinner - corn on the cob, beef on a bun, salad and butterhorns.
