Benjamin's Parties!

I haven't blogged for a while because we aren't doing anything terribly interesting right now.  Well, we're doing stuff that's fun for us, but it's probably not that interesting to read about.  The kids go to school, we come home and read and do homework.  Throw in some piano, and soccer 4 nights a week, and that's what we do.

But we took a break from that to celebrate Benjamin's birthday all weekend!  We started on Friday with a party in his kindergarten class.  The kids love him, and they were very excited to celebrate with him.  We brought cupcakes and juice boxes, so the kids are going to love me when I come in to help in his classroom from now on.  At least, I hope they will, even when I don't bring treats.

On Saturday, Wayne made Benjamin some breakfast in bed.  Later, we went to Chuck E Cheese with Mike (my brother) and Rebecca and their 3 boys.  Brandon (another brother) came, too.  The boys had a great time playing all the games and collecting tickets.  And I mean all of the boys, including the adults.  Surprisingly, Chuck E. Cheese was clean and most of the games worked!  But the pizza still tasted like cardboard.  It's a place that only a six year old can truly love.

 

After that, we went to see Grandpa and Grandma and did a pinata in their backyard.   As could be expected, the pinata is a soccer ball.  We had a yummy dinner and cupcakes, too.

On Sunday, the other Grandpa and Grandma (Wayne's parents) came by.  Daryl, Denece, Taryn, Tyler, and Great Grandma came, too.

It was a great weekend, and it was fun to celebrate with so many family members.  Thank you all for your love for our Benjamin!
