Benji is 5!

This birthday boy was in Heaven! We got up and opened presents which kept him entertained the rest of the day. I thought of going to Chuck E Cheese but we were not in need of entertainment. He got the Ben 10 creation Chamber! A Zhu Zhu pet, Slip n Slide,  Legos, Bakugan, Ben 10 Tatoos and Ben 10 book – yes he is obsessed. He didn’t even whine when I had him lay down for quiet time because he had his new book. He was super excited to have his cousins over for a party that night. We had a quick treasure Hunt and then a squirt gun/balloon race followed by presents and Bakugan cake. Emergency stitches for Lily urged us to end the  night at 10:30pm 🙂

Tacos for dinner!

Squirt gun race!

more presents, Benji is in there somewhere.

Wonder what he is wishing for...

A Nettesheim tradition is that once you take your first bite of birthday cake then the birthday kid can’t talk until his cake is gone. We decided that Benji was old enough to get the game this year and introduced it to him. He was very proud to ignore everyone and not talk and not have to finish eating his cake under the table! He is a rule keeper – Good job buddy!

When did this guy get so big?
