Here's the week in pictures...

We were so lucky to have Aunt Cork here with us during Bennett's birthday week! It was sort of a surprise trip (for her!) and we were so glad to have her here!
We started celebrating at Shane's on Sunday night with Mooma, Poopa, and Aunt Cork. We even had an Edgar's cake! Yum!
Tuesday, April 3
Ok, not birthday related, but Bennett's art work was chosen for an art show!! He was one of only 2 or 3 boys whose art was chosen!! He did a great job :)
Ok, back to the birthday stuff.
THE BIG DAY!
April 4, 2012... 9 years old!
Opening presents! Mostly Lego, of course :) He did get that shirt and shorts in the morning before school. New outfits for your birthday are fun!
Nana came over after school to help open presents and celebrate. Bennett chose Zaxby's for dinner (carry out!) so we relaxed at home until baseball practice...
I really can't think of anywhere Bennett would rather be on his birthday than on the field! We brought cupcakes and drinks for after practice (but the pictures didn't turn out great -too dark!) I love the look on his face when people sing to him, though :)

Party day!
We planned Bennett's party right after school, so Brad and I took both cars and picked up 8 boys to bring to the party! Talk about fun! I thought no one would want to ride with Brad (since they would not be with the rest of the boys) but boy was I wrong!! The Porsche has some high attraction with the boys!! We stopped at the gas station on the way for snacks, then on to the party!
They played tough football and whiffle ball.
Then we celebrated with cupcakes :) Bennett requested homemade cupcakes again this year - love it!
And, just in case you didn't know that he makes me proud, Bennett chose to give all of the toys that he got from his friends for his birthday to the Children's Hospital! We noted it on the birthday invitation, asking his friends to bring lego sets for the Hospital... look at all that he collected! I'm so proud of his giving spirit!
Sunday, April 8
On Easter (real Easter pictures in the next post!) we celebrated his birthday one last time with my family.
Evie helped open presents...
We managed to save the cookie cake from Bubba (who has been known to try it before we even get to sing!)
And he made one last wish :)
It is so hard to believe that 9 years have passed since Bennett's birth day! There really aren't words to say how special this boy is... he is kind, smart, funny, creative, and always keeps us on our toes. We are blessed to have him in our lives and excited to see how God is moving through his life.
Happy Birthday buddy!!
