Ben’s actual birthday included some more celebration,
even though we had done his
birthday trip a few days before.
 |
For
breakfast, we celebrated by having Puffy
Pancakes, a definite favorite around here!
|
 |
During
the morning/early afternoon, we actually babysat some kids from church. They
had fun playing, going on a short walk (it was SUPER hot that day), eating
lunch, and baking healthy
peanut butter cookies with me.
|
 |
For
dinner that evening, we had the American Special: burgers hot off the grill,
cool watermelon slices, potato chips, potato salad, and lemonade!
|
 |
For
his birthday “cake,” Ben chose a form of dessert pizza. It had a chocolate chip
cookie base, a peanut butter filling, a chocolate cake on top, all smothered in
chocolate frosting, and garnished with Reese’s candy chunks. It was definitely
good (recipe coming soon!)
|
 |
Then
he opened up his gifts. He got a few movies, a speaker for his Mp3 player, some
new clothes, and new basketball gear.

We are so grateful for Ben and all the
wonderful years we’ve had with him! He is quickly turning into a young man, and
we look forward to what the next year of his life will bring!
