Happy 6th Birthday Benji!

Benji checked in with us on the eve of his birthday to remind us that we were supposed to decorate his room and put ribbons across his door:

Guess this is a new tradition?

Birthday muffin

And birthday bear, of course

Opening one present before school

Abby, I am too tired, will you read it to me?

Yay! A boogie board!

Which he used immediately to write us a note

 Special lunch with mommy in the courtyard at Greenbrier, followed by a class celebration:

Birthday pencils from the teacher and principal

Birthday book with pictures from his classmates

P assing out brownies

On the smartboard

All smiles as his classmates sing to him

We had a small family celebration at home in the evening, with pancakes for dinner and strawberries with whipped cream for dessert (both by Benji's request), along with the leftover brownies from school (by Abby's request):

Benji gets his own tooth pillow from Gammy

And a projector!

A karaoke CD from mom and dad, which he had to try out right away

Along with the projector

Seven candles
