Here's the rest of the story from ben's birthday. Ben got home a little after 5 and walked into some rockin' versions of happy birthday. i had searched on itunes for happy birthday and picked out some i thought ben would think were awesome, like the big band version, and then some i thought would just be funny. they turned to be a hit and we deemed them as necessary for every birthday from here on out. :) here is ben and hatcher dancing to one of the versions!
Elsie and I were enjoying the dancing show!
I made ben some cupcakes or as hatcher called them last night, "cakecups" and hatcher could not wait to get one. every time we turned around he was over there taking one off of the table or sticking his finger in one. :)
Ben decided he wanted to open presents first and I think Hatcher decided that he was the official "present opener". He did a great job opening them all for Ben.
Here is Ben with some new socks...hahaha just what everyone wants to get as a present!
He also got some chocolate candy that looks like rocks from Hatcher and I got him a subscription to Bible Study Magazine. We are both looking forward to getting the first issue in the mail! After all the presents were opened, Hatcher was still anxiously awaiting getting a cakecup, so we decided that he could go on and have one before we ate supper. he was so excited!!
I arranged the cupcakes in the shape of a "28" and decorated them with a variety of fun sprinkles. I am really catching onto my mom's intense love for sprinkles...they are great! Hatcher helped daddy blow all his candles out and then it was time to eat!
Here is Hatcher trying as hard as he can to get his cupcake while ben is trying to roll up his sleeves! so silly!!
This is one happy boy! He finally got his cakecup!
We did have some yummy dominos pizza for supper, i ordered ben's favorite toppings, and then we had some great family time just playing in the den.
We also attempted to take a family photo with the self-timer. After 10 shots this was the best :) and everyone with children knows how that goes!
anyway, we had a great time celebrating ben's birthday!!
