I know, it's already December 1st and I am just now posting this but hopefully Benji knows we love him anyways. It has been a crazy month and I'm afraid December isn't going to be much better. We celebrated all the November birthdays with Ryan's family on November 7th and had a great time. Benji loves getting together with his cousins and being able to play with them. The presents are a nice treat to but seeing his cousins is all that he needs. He had a great night there and it was fun to have a family dinner since this was our off year for Thanksgiving. Benji got Wii games which he absolutely loves and we got him a baseball pitch machine which after a few minutes he was actually able to hit the balls. Amazing as this machine pitches pretty fast.
Dennis, Sharon, and Heather were out the week of his birthday. We had a nice visit when they stayed with us on Monday night and then on Wednesday, Benji's actual birthday, my whole family went out to dinner at Olive Garden. He thought it was cool that Grandpa Dennis and Grandma Sharon could be out here for his birthday. He loved all his gifts of course.
That weekend I braved it all by myself and took all my kids (yes, that includes Taylor too) and two of Benji's friends to see G-Force at the dollar theater. It was a cute movie and Benji and his friends had a lot of fun. Taylor and Alyssa were good. It was James I had a problem with. I guess the movie theater was too dark for him so he kept telling me that he wanted to get out of there. He even tried to leave on his own a couple of times. Lots of fun for me with 5 other kids to take care of and trying to hold Taylor but somehow we made it through and ended up having a good time.
Benji is an awesome kid and we're glad we have him in our family. Happy Birthday Benji!
