Bennett's Stillwater Birthday

We celebrated Bennett's 4th birthday at home, but we waited until our first summer trip to Stillwater to celebrate with family.  Bennett has his first Children's Farm class on Friday, so we planned a party for Saturday morning!  Kyle and Ali were heading to the lake so they stopped on their way on Friday night with a special present for Bennett - his very own big hockey stick!

Late Friday night, Amy and Andrew flew in from Virginia for a long weekend home.  They were happy to be home after 6 months since their last visit.  We were all happy to see them!  This is what our busy breakfast table looked like on Saturday morning!  :)  Fun!

Logan wasted no time hanging out with Andrew!  Logan was super excited to see them and fill them in on his life: school, summer, tball....and much much more.  

Eden had risen at the crack of dawn, so by breakfast time, she was already napping.  Amy snuggled with her when she woke up.  Eden was not interested in Mommy when Auntie Amy was around.  

Post nap breakfast with Nana.

We did our best to make the party super special for Bennett! He had been looking forward to his party for a long time!

Nana ordered this special cake for Benny.



As you can imagine, Benny LOVED it!!

Benny wore his "4" shirt, Eden wore a party dress, and Logan wore his t-ball jersey.  Haha.

And this is what happened when I tried to get a photo of all three kiddos together.  :)

Playing "Go Fish" with Papa!

Amy and Eden were fast friends.  They last saw each other in Virginia when Eden was about 10 months.  She hadn't quite started walking yet, so she has changed a lot!


"Whassss Disss?"  Eden favorite new phrase!!

And Eden has a surprising love for coloring.  She even holds her crayon right (with her left hand, of course)...its her favorite pasttime.

We all came outside to greet Baggie and Bopbop when they arrive!

Eden wanted to try Bennett's new flip flops.



The Buzz Lightyear space station was a big hit!




Happy Birthday to Bennett...

feeling bashful.  So cute.

"Papa"!!  She can say Papa now, so that made my Dad's day.  :)
