Happy 26th Birthday Ben!

The birthday boy

Benny with his requested "Old Swampy" cake


This cake was from my Hello Cupcake book. Can you tell that I love it?

We ended up celebrating Ben's birthday on the 25th this year instead of the 24th because he was studying for a big test. We went to dinner at Olive Garden, enjoying the time we had to talk without having to entertain a certain 17 1/2 month old little boy, although we love him. Then we picked Emerson up at the babysitter's house, opened Ben's presents, and enjoyed some of his alligator cake. Happy Birthday Ben! We love you lots and are so glad to have you. You work so hard all the time and are so great at being a husband and daddy. Good luck on your pharmacology test. :)

Ooo... love the cake as well. When you mentioned that book, I thought "I should ask her if I can borrow it." Then I remembered you live 1500 miles away. Might be a small problem. :)

Tell Ben Happy (late) Birthday for us!
