Benny Boy is FOUR!

So I decided maybe I keep this blog more for myself than anyone else :) I had fun looking back at all Ben's Birthdays. Since details are hard for me to keep track of these days, I love having this to look back on. Check Benny out at ONE, TWO, THREE, now FOUR!

Benny celebrated his birthday at preschool on his actual Birthday (and the first day back from winter break because Nate was worried we had missed celebrating in in preschool because we had already had the party). He had a Happy Birthday name tag on that day so we ended up celebrating at CiCis Pizzas as well.....Benny had lots of Birthday celebrations this year.

We love you Benny Boy!

On his actual Birthday

Treats Benny took to Preschool to share with his friends.

Benny said he wanted a snowman party this year!

I was excited since this was a little different from all the usual boy themes.

Snowman PBJ sandwiches

We had Benny's Party a little early so Juee and PopPop could be here for most of the party. We just had the party at our new house. It was good because it motivated me to get most of the moving in done before the party. Benny got to celebrate with so many of his little friends, thank you for making his day so special!

Enjoying the backyard.....I love having a backyard YAY!

Playing with buddies in the playroom!

Benny getting ready to blow out the candles. I sent Brian to the store for candles and he came back with febrezze glass candles hehehe (they worked just fine, except we had to rummage up a forth).

Snowman cake and cupcakes!

Make a wish!

Too much Party :)

Nate is the Big Brother! As the oldest he sets an amazing example for Benny and Eli. This little boy loves people and loves getting out. The first thing he asks me each day is where are we going and who is going to be there. He does not have a lazy bone in his body...he is a very hard worker. He can be very serious and shy at times, but when he is in his silly mood this boy can laugh forever! Nate has a very kind heart and is quick to think of others, very intuitive for a four year old. His favorite colors are green and red. When he grows up he wants to be a Daddy and Woody from Toy Story.

Benny is Mr. personality....you can tell he is the second child. He is very easy going about so many things, but he definitely has an opinion. He is great at sharing and he loves playing with others. Benny also enjoys his alone time and can entertain himself for a long time. He has a little crazy streak in him. This mixed with his ability to charm makes it very hard to get mad at him. Benny can make anyone laugh. He makes every activity entertaining. This little boy can melt your heart! He loves cars, dinosaurs, monster trucks, and painting (most of the time on himself). He looks up to Nate so much and wants to do everything he can do.

Little Eli is the youngest of our three boys. He is just such a sweet little guy. He wants to keep up with his older brothers more than anything. He is always following them around the house or play ground. He loves balls of any type and is quick to point them out and say "BALL". He loves to sing and dance, he has some very impressive moves. He could sleep anywhere and we haven't found a loud noise that scares him yet. Mr. Eli is very attached to his Mama. He is also my best eater, this boy will eat almost anything.
