Kimball: Happy Birthday Ben Ben!

Happy Birthday Ben Ben!

Continuing on with the no birthday parties this year, Bennett chose McDonalds for his dinner and the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving point for his activity. When I asked him what he wanted for his birthday present he responded with the usual request for Lego Star Wars. I decided to ignore this and buy him a scooter instead. Frankly I am sick of Legos and sick of Star Wars. He was thrilled and has been happily scooting ever since.

Since I failed miserably at decorating Taylor's cake I took it easy and sprinkled letters on top of Bennett's. I asked him what he wanted and he said he wanted a B for BYU and Bennett, a T for Taylor, S for Scott etc. So that is what I did. It was no beauty but he thought it was great. I'm keeping it simple all around if you can't tell.

Even though he growing up so incredibly fast I hope his sweetness and sense of humor stick around for a long time!
