Early B-day Gift for Ben

A month away and I couldn't help myself! It's so much fun shopping for Benjamin and this little mower was perfect. He likes being like his daddy! They will both have lots of fun working out in the yard this spring/summer.

Fruity de Ruijter

Benjamin's first taste of fruity de Ruijter sprinkles. He didn't know what to think until his first bite. What kid doesn't like colorful sprinkles?! Yummy!

Wedding Fun

 
Our niece, Hannah, got married last month to Phil. We were able to celebrate with them and had an enjoyable time. We wish them every happiness!
 Benjamin played the part of cuteness and had fun being doted on.
Benjamin's closest cousin (in age) is Vera. They got to spend a few moments together, but they were always on the move. I caught the blurry shot above, and below is Corinne's picture of them running around. We're glad we got to spend time with them and look forward to seeing them in late spring.

Waffle Loves Valentines Flowers and a Movie

On Valentine's Day, Benjamin and I delivered some Valentines and then met up with my sister-in-law, Lan. We had a great time going over to Thanksgiving Point to get a Waffle Love treat. The biscoff waffles are very tastey! Benjamin and I had a tug-of-war with the waffle we shared.

When we arrived home from our outing, we found flowers had been delivered for me from Mike. They're still blooming and make the house smell pretty. Benjamin and I got Mike an oreo ice-cream cake, which didn't last very long.

Mike and I went out (without Benjamin) on a date to dinner and a movie, The Monuments Men. It's the forth movie I've been to in the theatre since Benjamin was born. What a treat!

First Taste of Pop Rocks

Benjamin's first taste of Pop Rocks. It was almost like it was no big deal for him, but made us chuckle.
