Party Time!

We had a ton of fun at Ben's first birthday party. We just had a little party at home with friends, family, pizza, cake, and - of course - beer. Here are some of the highlights:

Jenna and Hannah enjoying the "waterslide" (man, was it hot!)

Grammy Sue with the Birthday Boy!

A sweet little boy couldn't ask for two better grandmas :)

Jim and Heather Bachmann - awesome friends and great kid-caretakers!

Aunt Diane and Jenna-benna taking a break from the lil pool (doesn't Diane look great in this picture?!)

Happy birthday to me!
The big kids playing Wii. Thanks guys, for putting up with a baby's birthday party and for keeping Jakey entertained and feeling included :)

The birthday cake
Here it comes!!

And there it goes ;)

Big brother playing outside (not in the mood for having his picture taken)

Playing with water balloons to keep cool

Present time!


More presents!

Jakey got some presents too so he wouldn't feel left out.

We had such a wonderful time with our friends and family who could make it to the party. Thanks for coming guys, and here's to many more fun parties. Happy birthday Ben! :)
