Beniah kept grinning a goofy, embarrassed grin whenever he got "Happy Birthday" sung to him.
Since Tim had to work that night, we did the majority of the gift opening in the morning after breakfast.
Beniah requested pancakes for dinner, so I made him some birthday cake pancakes from a Pinterest recipe. Silly mama that I am could have made him some of my regular blueberry pancakes and he would have been just as happy.
Cake (made by the lovely Grandma Whittaker so that I could rest more) soon followed dinner.
Which was then followed by calls from Aunties, Uncles, and cousins.
Proof that he was listening to your singing Auntie Jo and not just reading his book! :)
Soon, it was bedtime (much to my relief) for the next day was the highly anticipated bowling alley birthday party at Big Al's!
There was bowling!
We love Beniah's arm flap of excitement!
Elijah got a spare on his first frame (with a bit of help from his Daddy) which made him SO excited
but left him disappointed in his bowling the rest of the time.
There were friends and friends who are also cousins!
There was even more bowling!
There was presents!
Yeah for really cool planets that can hang from your ceiling!
Beniah tried to convince me to hang them up before his rest time after the party. Ha! Nice try kiddo.
There was the assembling of presents with Daddy once we got home!
There was leftover pizza for dinner (since Mama was WAY too tired to cook)!
(Apparently the Hot & Delicious Pizza made just for me was made by the Devil himself!)
Beniah had a wonderful time bowling and asked as we were getting ready to leave, "Mama, when can we come back to Big Al's?" I'm thinking this is going to become a monthly family game day (as long as it's over before nap time.
