Benny Boy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my sweet Ben!
It was a little bit different this year as his actual birthday was quite busy.

We went out to dinner the night before his birthday

And he got to open one present

The morning of his real birthday started early
Here we are driving to school on an early, cold winter morning

Ben was at school all day and we had a few minutes to eat some Panera dinner before he was off to a meeting.
We went straight form the meeting to his intramural basketball game.
I went to cheer him on and see some friends.

We got home at 8:30 and Ben said he didn't think he had time for cake & presents
(he had a paper due at midnight that he needed to finish)

But we snuck in a couple presents anyway.
He also couldn't say no to his requested mint ice cream cake/pie

The day after became birthday day#3
He got to open some more presents and have cake of course

And to top it all off Ben wanted to have a cereal party at the end of the week.

Yes, at age 29 his birthday party of choice was a cereal party

It ended up being lots of fun.
We had our friends bring a box of cereal to share with the group
Surprisingly no one ended up bringing the same cereal.
I think the favorite choice was Reese's Puffs

It was quite the fun birthday week for Ben!
