Ben's Birthday Party

We are in the middle of a four day celebration of Ben's First Birthday!  Why?  Well his party was Saturday and we have to keep telling Jeremy that Ben's Birthday is coming soon.  Hopefully he won't get mad when we have our own little family party on Tuesday night party.  But the real reason might be that we have 4 days of cupcakes to eat.

Surprisingly, Jeremy could not care less about "Ben" unwrapping all his presents.  I was expecting a major meltdown.  He was too busy with his water fight to really care.  This morning he did keep asking for presents so maybe he just put on a nice show for the party.  Also, his Mee-maw and Pee-paw were here for the weekend to play with him so he was a happy camper.  Really Ben has no idea what are his toys, so we won't have to worry about Ben getting jealous of Jeremy playing with his stuff.  But Jeremy did tell Ben that several of Ben's new toys are Jeremy's.  Probably in a few years Ben will look at the 450 pictures we took (yeah I'm not exaggerating on that).  Then he will yell at me because he realized that they were his toys all along.

But we had a great party and really appreciate all the friends and family that came (and traveled to get here).  The weather cleared up just in time for the party and the kids (and adults) had fun playing with the water guns.  When we unwrapped presents, I made sure to leave the cards with the gifts.  By the time we got back to the house, we were all exhausted, except for Jeremy and Ben.  Then the boys got all into the presents and they were all over the house.   It's been a lot of fun trying to remember who gave Ben what.........
