Birthday Gifts

Little Gym Party

Benji really wanted a "Blues Clues Little Gym Party" for his birthday (combining two of his favorite things). The folks at the Little Gym were game, so we got to it.

The cake, homemade for the occasion

Decorations, featuring Pop-pop's special birthday poster

Handy dandy notebooks for favors

Benji, monkeying around

With friend Elliot

Knocking over the wedge

Laughing with his teacher Beth

He really liked the parachute

Especially when his friends wrapped him up in it

Proud of himself for scaling the rock wall

Pretending to be bears with friends Alex Z. and Alex AG

He loves being the center of attention

And blue cake

Fooling around at home after the party

In honor of Benji's birthday, Grandma and pop-pop came to visit last weekend. Here is a picture of them with the kids:

Benji's 4th Birthday

A full day of celebrating, starting with a decorated room and birthday bear in the morning:

A special birthday muffin, which he was nice enough to share with Abby:

Cake with his friends at school (it was during passover, so cupcakes were a no-go): 

A special present from Abby:  

Christian's Pizza and Cappelini's cupcakes for dinner:

 

And his camera, at last:
