The girls were dying to have a party for Ben where they could jump out and yell surprise! The only way this was going to work was to have the place/party ready to go before he got home from work on Friday, even though his birthday was Saturday! The girls and I spent the day making and putting up decorations, baking his favorite German Choc cake and frosting, and getting ready to have pizza on the grill for dinner! It was a fun day! When Ben came in, the girls were soooo excited to hide and jump out and say "SURPRISE!" It was a success!
Jared had just made it before Ben came in so he got in on the excitement!
He also brought some sweet things for the girls to play with! He is winning the favorite uncle status quickly!
Ben was a great sport and we had a super fun evening!
Jared picked up his mom at the airport and we were lucky enough to have them stay at our house for the night and most of the next day! They took us to the awesome kids museum Explora, in old town Albuquerque! It was AWESOME!!!
Everything was hands on, and just as fun for adults as it was for kids!
We all had a blast!
Here are Ben and Jared facing off with their hover crafts over the fan.
Here are the girls making their own pictures on the spiro...whatever it is called ;)
Here are the girls looking into a tunnel of mirrors....HILARIOUS!
Here are Jared and Ben.....AWESOME!
Cody seemed a bit scared!
Building with the blocks!
Jared and Ben competing again!
GO JARED!
IF you thought we were in an elevator in the pic. below...
you'd be right! AWESOME!
We then went to Red Robin and enjoyed an awesome birthday dinner where we had the servers sing to Ben and if you know Ben, it was torture...but great for the rest of us!
Happy Birthday Ben! WE LOVE YOU!
Also, THANKS so much to Jared and Renae Reese for the AWESOME DAY!!!
WE LOVE YOU GUYS!
