Happy 7th Birthday Ben!!!

How could it be...Ben is already 7?!?! He was so excited for his day and luckily it was a Saturday because it was a non-stop party!! He was very excited for his monkey bread breakfast...his very favorite thing... Sammy worked on a book that she made for him...it is about a super hero named "Surf Boy" that liked all of the same things as Ben (so cute!)

Benson and I got him a new bike...he really wanted a "racing bike" so he could ride fast! He has been super into that lately...and is happy to report he can ride his new bike around the park 10 seconds faster!!

Then it was time for his party!! Ben is really into FOOTBALL right now and wanted to have a football party (luckily with the Super Bowl coming up...this ended up being a really easy theme!)Aunt Reagan came and did face painting...the kids played in the backyard and decorated bags for the pinata! Ben had a "7" on his jersey...it was his 7th Birthday and a football party..very appropriate!

Some of the kids with their face painted...

Sammy wanted a butterfly...

Then we headed across the street to play a football game at the park...

Seriously, how cute is this huddle...

Then it was time for the pinata...

My Dad wanted a turn (Ben shares a Birthday with him) since it was his Birthday too...

After presents...time for cake and ice cream!!!

It was a full house...lots of kids (14 to be exact!)

Right after Ben's friend party we headed to another park in our neighborhood to celebrate with my family! Ben shares a Birthday with my dad and his twin brother! So it was quite the celebration! We played some really fun games (I took pictures but because I love my siblings and cousins I decided not to post them) and had some pizza!

Lucy is really into having her picture taken and saying "cheese"!

We even had yummy cupcakes...

The Birthday boys...my dad, Ben, and Uncle Dave..

The Jones cousins (minus Garrett was was sick in the car)

The next day we celebrated Bashford style with the Bashford traditional bunny rabbit pancake!

And that night we had Benson's parents (and a friend of theirs, the Scott's, who were visiting from out of town) over for dinner, cake and ice cream to celebrate...and they bought Ben a new baseball glove...

Wow! What a celebration! Happy Birthday Ben!!!
