Ben's first birthday

Darling Ben,

What a joyful first year. You are such a sweet, handsome boy. Happy go lucky. Mellow. Fun. Loving. Smart. Adventuresome. Tough. Tender...are just a few words to describe you. You love climbing, cars, daddy tosses, snuggles with mom, playing like your a big kid, treats, outside time, baths, your siblings, other kids. I loved our special adventure to Portland for a family wedding. You were so happy to have mommy all to yourself you didn't cry all weekend. You make a great buddy and we are so incredible blessed to have you in our family!!!


Bday started off with a snowy walk to the bus stop.


Opening a big present with your sisters.


Daddy made it home from a business trip in time to sing you happy birthday and blow out a candle on some brownies.


A little more celebrations with cupcakes from Grammy Pat.

He does take everything in with those big eyes and seems to enjoy almost everyone around him. He is a special little guy. I love him too

There is something very special about this little boy. We are excited that our little guy will have such a cool cousin close to his age to look up to and be buddies with. We love you Ben!
