Benny had soo much fun at the party! He loved playing with the balloons, and opening presents - really got into that! Uncle scotty had the gift of the night - a remote control car with a pretty simple control. The car lights up and makes sounds, and Benny already knows how to turn it off and on. He also got a tricycle, some elmo videos, clothes, coloring book, blocks, and a few other things I know I'm not remembering. This morning he came down and saw all his gifts still sitting there and said OOOOOOO! The other highlight of the night was the cake that Rita made. She is amazing! Len had the idea to make Benny a cheese cake, because he loves cheese. A cake that looks like cheese, that is. She saw something online, and made a truly amazing cake - I will try to post a picture.
Check out the little mice! Benny ate that first.So this morning we opened our presents as a family, and then went to First watch for breakfast with my sisters. Very fun - Izzy wore his santa hat.
Benny opened a few tools that actually make noises and spin, and has not put them down.
Izzy got a tiger that is as big as he is! We named it Timmy the tiger.
It was a lovely christmas.
Tonight we are headed to Stephen (amber's boyfriend)'s house to celebrate his birthday, and then we will drive up to my parents to spend the night and Christmas day with them. Then we're with Len's parents, and then Christmas with my grandparents on monday! Five days of presents for Benny - pretty sure he will have present withdraw!
Merry Christmas, everybody! Remember that Jesus came to draw us to God.
