Happy Birthday/Mother's Day!

Benjamin turned 1 year old today on Mother's day! We also celebrated Abby's birthday, who turns 7 on Tuesday. We had a very busy day today but it was so much fun. After church the whole family came over. GrandDaddy, Grandma Nancy, Grandpa, Grandmother & Russ, Uncle Abraham, Aunt Laura, and cousins Abigail & Andrew. David made his delicious meatballs and spaghetti for everyone while Benjamin enjoyed his "duck" cake prepared by Grandma Nancy. Nancy talked me into just giving Benjamin the ENTIRE cake and see what he would do. Surprisingly, he didn't do much. He just kind of poked at it. Not much mess. Since no one else ate off it I decided to help make a dent in it. I've already eaten 1/3 of the cake and it's only 8:30pm.

I counted how many pictures I took today. I started taking pictures from the moment he woke up this morning. Not including the video, I took 84 pictures. I just didn't want to miss ANYTHING! Here's some of them. Benjamin only slept 15 minutes in the church nursery today so he was extremely tired by bedtime. He went to bed early tonight - without any kind of fuss about it.
