Happy 3rd Birthday Benjamin! (sept 2011)

We had our big family trip mid September 2011 and Benjamin's birthday was right towards the end of it. Therefore, the week before the trip, I made some cupcakes while playgroup with the other moms and kids from our Church to sing to him. He enjoyed it and so did his friends.

The last day of our trip was Saturday September 17th, which was his actual birthday. That day we were in Provo, UT for a football game. Right before the game we went to the "cougareat" and sang to him and gave him some yummy guava cake (from bamboo hut). He was getting a little confused on the age he was turning but he got it. He even shared cake with Samuel.

He got few gifts. The one he was the most excited about was a little Book of Mormon so he could had "scriptures" to take to Church. It made me feel "fuzzy" inside.  He was excited to get candy, a cougar car, squirts toys, and a cool medium size bouncy ball which lit up when hit. We were so excited to be together as a family when this 3rd annual event happened. We are so blessed to have such an energetic and full of joy kid, who reminds us hourly of the joy of life and of the little moments. He is always doing something goofy to make us laugh. I adore this kid, because even though, he lives by the minute (not seeing the consequences of his actions), he is always so happy and cheers me up frequently.
