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.

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…
