Spider-Man Party!

Yesterday, Ben went to his first "friend" birthday party. It was for his friend Will who turned three. There were lots of cute decorations and party favors, but I forgot to get my camera out until the end of the party.

We all put on super hero tattoos after we arrived and Ben received a cool mask, spider ring, and Spider-Man bracelet. Then the kids played outside in the kiddie pool, on the slip-n-slide, and on the swing set. It was a fun morning visiting with friends!

 At the end of the party, they got out a pinata that is supposed to open by pulling the correct ribbon. In this picture, the birthday boy is pulling one of the last ribbons.
 Jeremy (Will's dad) lifted Ben up to pull the very last ribbon. The pinata did not open! No candy yet for the patient kiddos.
 Jeremy tried to beat it open with a bat before just ripping the top off with his hands. Too bad the whole "ribbon" idea did not work. It seems a lot less dangerous than giving the kids a bat. :)
 Ben got so dizzy swinging on this at the party.

Later in the afternoon on Saturday, Ben's new swing set got delivered. More on that fun project to come...

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 ...

The Big 3-0!

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 ...
