Benny's Birthday

Benny's birthday was back in December (yes, I know ... I've been terrible about getting anything posted lately!). We started the day with our tradition of Dad taking the birthday boy to Piggly Wiggly to get donuts and a birthday balloon.


His birthday was on a Friday, and we went down to the N.E.W. Zoo that evening to see their special Christmas displays and take a horse-drawn sleigh-ride. It was cold, but everyone enjoyed the evening!


The next day we had a birthday lunch with Grandma and Grandpa ... and presents! Alex was a very willing helper when it came to opening gifts. He and Ethan had picked out a rubber snake for Benny.


Grandma and Grandpa got him a basket of babies, which he loves!



We got him a ramp racer ... two-sided ramp racer to minimize fighting over it and maximize playing together.


Maybe it should have been three-sided!

The birthday boy and the froggy cake he wanted:


He loves blowing candles out!


It's so hard to believe he's two already. We're so thankful for his lively, funny, entertaining presence in our lives!
