Party Day.

Today was Ben's party day (his actual Birthday was this past Monday).

The theme was his very own idea...he's been talking about it for at least 6 months.

"My Dumptruck Party!" was a hit. We continued our tradition of primary colors and lots of good food. Ben bad several of his friends come over for about 45 minutes of cake, candy, cookies and chasing each other through the house. After that, we took them all to Jump Zone to play.

It was really pretty easy to pull together. The kids all received a play construction hat with his dumptruck graphic on the front. The driveway and sidewalk was lined with orange construction cones. The food consisted of Chocolate Chip Contractor Cookies, Boulders (Sausage Balls), Foreman Fruit Salad, and Mud Tires (Chocolate Donuts and Coconut Crumb Donuts)...and of course the masterpiece of a cake crafted by Jenny's mom.

Thanks to our parents for buying the boys' swingset, and for everything else you did to help out, and thanks to everyone who has made the past two weeks so special for our two precious boys.
