Happy Birthday to Benjamin!

We had a family birthday party for Benjamin on Friday night. We didn't have it on his actual birthday, because he had surgery on his teeth the day before his birthday, and the dentist said he probably wouldn't be able to eat much on his birthday. Several members of my family also had ward council on the night on his birthday, so it worked out. He is too young to know the difference anyway.

We ate pizza.
The first present he opened was a car carrying case from Aunt Kim, Haylie and Uncle Kelly. It is in the shape of a semi truck and you can push it around.
Emily made Benjamin an origami elephant.
Benjamin refused to open any other presents. He just wanted to play with his truck. So, Grandma took it hostage until he opened his other presents. He opened them under protest, and went back to his truck.

I made him a Mickey Mouse cake, which my sister Kim decorated for me. She is so much better at decorating cakes than I am. It turned out really cute, which is amazing, because I had the head and arm practically cracked off when she got there to decorate it. She propped them up with little plastic bag piles and it wasn't even noticable (click on the picture and look close under his arm and you will see it)! Hurray for little artistic sisters!
He blew out his candle and we ate cake and ice cream.
Then he played with his truck all night long. (Although he did take a break to check out the dinosaur playset that Grandma and Grandpa Bevans gave him)
