One Fun Day

Although his actual birthday party isn't until Friday night, Benjamin had a great day yesterday ringing in his fourth! He woke up to our little tradition of birthday cake breakfast...something his brother also enjoyed the benefits of! And then we hung around the house for awhile until Grandma & Grandpa Marble Falls (my parents) stopped by to go to lunch with us. Although you may think I had something to do with the decision, the boy wanted to go to Luby's. He loves their Jell-O. And loves the fact that he can pick which color of Jell-O he can have. So we had a fun time over in Temple at Luby's. They even brought out cake and made a little "to do" over him. It is probably rare to get someone so young celebrating their birthday there!
We had an afternoon at home, properly "breaking in" his new Leapster Grandma & Grandpa brought him. And after Daddy arrived, there was pizza, more cake and a few more gifts, too.
It was definitely a Leap Frog kind of year for Benjamin...between the Leapster from my parents, the Wordwhammer from Grandma & Grandpa Pecos and the Tag system from Great Grandma & Grandpa Dominguez...the boy is ready to read! He was super excited about all of it! He was also excited to get some money to add to his savings from Aunt Helen and Uncle Dan and Aunt Syndi and their kiddos...thanks you guys! He loves to go to the bank and watch the little container shoot into the roof and come out "at the lady in the window". He likes it even more when it is returned to our car with a sucker.
A few pics from yesterday and with his class today at preschool (I sent cookies that they celebrated with...not in the shape of 4 as originally planned! Long story.)
Can't wait to party with you even more on Friday, kiddo!
