    Spiderman 4th Birthday Party

It’s hard to watch someone else unwrap all those presents:) Excited for everyone to sing happy birthday and blow out his candles. And then getting a little embarrassed. Ben and his great grandma Gigi. J’s mom. My parents. By then, Spiderman just had to change into his costume.

You’re pretty.”

    Ben’s 3rd Birthday Party

    It’s been almost a month since Ben’s 3rd birthday party and I’m just now posting about it.  Ben chose a Thomas the Train themed party and although my love for character themed parties is luke warm, with the help of the internet, particularly Pinterest, I’ve learned you can take any party, even ones with talking trains, and make it somewhat chic. Somewhat. This will probably be the last year we do a family only party since Ben is getting older and making more friends at school. I’m thinking we’ll do something like the Little Gym next year and a bonus-no clean up at our home. I had done a chili…
