B-man's B-day

Benjamin turned 7 this week!

We celebrated with a small friend party - he invited 2 friends from school. (He would've invited more but we limit the number of friends if we are not staying home for the party!) They came over for cake and ice cream. This year Benjamin asked for his cake to look like a person. I came up with the idea to make it a Lego man, which he agreed to. I was very pleased with how it turned out!

It's hard to tell in the picture, but his feet are 3D just like a real Lego man

Friends Kaylee and Ammon

Yum!

silly Nathan

Elizabeth loved the cake and was sad she couldn't have seconds!

I love Kaylee's and Benjamin's expressions!

gift from Ammon


Then we drove up to Lindon to Jump On It. It is basically a warehouse full of trampolines (and a few bounce houses). They wore themselves out with jumping for an hour!


After the party and dinner, Benjamin opened family presents.

Kid Wood: basically foam and plastic nails and the kids can cut and hammer with the plastic tools

The day after his birthday he got to give his "family presentation" at school. It is basically a Star of the Week idea where he shows off a poster of individual and family pictures and tells about himself. One student asked what his favorite toy is, and he responded that it is the new Kid Wood set he just got for his birthday. He hadn't even had the chance to open the package yet, but I'm glad he's excited!
