Can he grow up? YES HE CAN!

Last Monday was my little Benson's second birthday. I cant believe that my little man just turned TWO! We had such a good time on his birthday and thanks to everyone who called, sent stuff, and came to his party, he had a great day.

We woke up in the morning and he chose what he wanted for breakfast: Trix cereal and gogurt. Okay, not to hard. Then we planned on going to lunch with Doug because Benson's only thing he wanted to do that day was to see Dad. So of course we picked up some good old Chick-Fil-A and went to Doug's work to eat with him. It was so fun, we sat in the little lunch room and got to meet a lot of people Doug works with. They were all so sweet and they loved meeting all the kids. Then it was home for nap time so I could finish last minute party stuff and make Benson's Bob the Builder cake! I love decorating cakes so this was fun. Benson is wild about Bob the Builder and the days leading up to his birthday he would walk around the house saying, "Bob cake!" over and over again. So this cake was a must.

At about 6:00 some of our dearest "Tennessee Family" came to celebrate with us. Of course everything at the party revolved around Bob the builder so I have included some pictures to show even the food was labeled to go along with the names of the trucks on Bob. (for example, Roley's Roll-ups go along with the little roller truck named Roley! Scoop's Scoops, etc. :) We had a great time. We roasted Hot dogs and marshmallows on the fire, (we love having a fire pit in our backyard) and ate and ate and ate. Then the kids took turns hitting the pinata, and of course presents and cake and ice cream. Benson got all kinds of trucks and balls, and trains! He was stoked about having some of his own boy things to play with. Overall it was a success, but I have to say I am a little grateful we do friend parties every other year cause they are a lot of work!
