Birthday Extravaganza!

Yesterday, we had a really fun day celebrating Ben's birthday. After breakfast, he got to open his presents. He was very excited about that! Then, we spent some time at the mall. Ben made his first bear at Build-a-Bear, rode some rides, and ate lunch at Chick-fil-a (his favorite). In the afternoon, we had his birthday cupcakes and he practiced on his scooter outside with daddy. I still can't believe that he is already 3!

 Cars cupcakes
 Some of the Cars decorations.
 Ben was excited to open two new cars that Grandma and Gramps sent him in the mail.
 Super Why dvd
 A hauler for his Nitroade car. He is getting quite the collection. He has fun getting all the cars/trucks ready for the big race!
 Showing off his new helmet and scooter. He didn't really like to wear the helmet very much, so we'll have to work on that.
 Giving his bear a bath at Build-a-Bear.
 We had to fill out all the info for his bear's birth certificate. He named him Snowy in the store and later decided to call him Snowflake.
 All done building his new bear and ready to head to the food court for lunch.
 Giving Snowflake a BIG squeeze!
 Blowing out his candle. I think lots of spit ended up on that cupcake!

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
