Ben Day!

Today was a good day. I know, you are thinking we spoil our children! AND YOU ARE RIGHT! We are enjoying being mama and daddy and celebrating the day we got our children is just one more way we can show them just how important they are and how much they are loved. I love how we do it with just the four of us. Kind of a private celebration of how we became a family of four! And hey what kid wouldn't LOVE having TWO days of celebration a year! Birthday and Gotcha Day! (the day we gotcha)
Today I remembered past "Ben Days"!!!

Here is my baby boy...(I thought he was huge! little did I know he would get sooo much bigger)

Here is my boy Ben Day 2007

Here he is Ben Day 2008

Our tradition is to go out for a family breakfast and then let them pick out a toy. The breakfast came from the fact that on the day we brought Ben home, Dan and I were so excited we could not sleep and got up around 4:30 am and went to breakfast!!! Today, though Dan had to work, so we walked to the donut shop and got donuts for breakfast and then after Daddy got home, we went to get his toy (he chose a water rocket...surprise, surprise) and then to Denny's where Ben got a Baseball pancake!! We came home and did the rocket and had a great family afternoon. I love my boy and he is such a blessing to us! It was a great Ben day, and the greatest part of the day was BEN!

Sissy had a cheese Quesadilla!


Ben was so excited in the store when he found his "WOCKET!!"

Here they are shooting it off!

Ben asked for his rocket to sit at the table with us at dinner. It was so cute!
