Happy Birthday Ben!!!!

This was his surprise birthday party!

Getting some help blowing out the candles!

Ben and I playing cards in my really small, old college apartment.

Ben was in a band and they would play at some local joints. Yeah! He's so DREAMY!

My roommate and I tried straightening Ben's hair to see how long it would be! Look at those side burns!!!! and that hair!!!!

Yesterday was Ben's 27th birthday! I know, he's so old! The day started off okay. He was sweet and let me go to my work out class. Then I came home and made his favorite breakfast, crepes with strawberries and whipped topping. The rest of the day consisted of Ben doing his math homework (while I cleaned the house to get ready for the surprise birthday party I had planned for him). Then at around 5pm, he and I went to Miyabi's where they cook the food right in front of you. There was so much food. Thankfully, the Pilkington's had offered to watch Lilli for us. Anyway, after dinner, we went to Dick's Sports (where else). We played some air hockey. Ben cheated, a lot!!!! And ended up winning, but I guess that's okay cause he was the birthday boy! Then we went home and had all our neighbor friends there to wish him a happy birthday. He said he had no idea, until before we went in I told him to go first. I'm so bad about surprises!!!!! I always blow it, so if you ever have a surprise, don't tell me. :) Plus, everyone left their shoes by the door, so of course he saw them. It was funny! But it was a really fun day! I hope Ben had a very happy birthday! Lilli and I are so grateful to have him in our lives. He's a wonderful father and husband and is always so helpful and willing to serve. He's hard working and is such a great provider! We love you Ben and can't wait to celebrate many more birthdays to come!!!!!!!!
