Benjamin's First Birthday!

I was lucky enough to be back in Haliburton for Benjamin's First Birthday Party!! It was sooo great to see my Grandma, Bart, Aunt Anna, Jamie and Dana (brother and sister-in-law), Pam and Gord(Dana's parents) and of course my nephews!! :) Samuel was so excited to see so many people from his family at his house for the PARTY! We soon went outside to see his new cubby house...it was nice to sit in the sun...and the blackflies and mosquitoes were kept away by a slight breeze!!

Samuel is just like Jamie--he LOVES his tonka trucks..... at one point he even gave Benjamin a ride in the dump truck!! Benjamin had fun 'bum-scooting' around the grass...His hat is so adorable!!
My Grandma took time to enjoy the new swingset..swinging with the Birthday Boy!!


Inside waiting for cake!!! :)

What's a party without party hats?? (I took photos OF EVERYONE wearing a hat...but decided only to post me in one.....!)

Definitely the way to wear a party hat!!

The boys in my gift...a weird gift I know...but I gave Benjamin 2 books... one was titled "what can you do with a box?" so of course I gave Benjamin a box to see what he could do with it.. Samuel was all about jumping in and having Benjamin join him....

...CAKE...mmmmmm sooo good!! Dana is SUCH a good COOK!!! the BBQ was awesome too!!

So there you have it... Benjamin is now officially ONE!!!
