Homecoming and a Birthday

This post is picture loaded.

We were very thankful that Dad made it home and that Papaw is home and healing.

The next week was Benjamin’s 3rd birthday, I can’t believe this little guy is three years old already.

Since Benjamin loves balloons we loaded his door up for a surprise when he woke up from his nap.

Checking things out, he has been ready for this birthday since the summer. His regular question has been, “It my birthday next?”

Opening presents, each of the older Blessing made Benjamin some sort of homemade activity to keep him busy during school time. Levi made a clothes line with felt clothes, Judith made a pipe cleaner color sorting thing and Elisabeth made him a felt snowman mat.

  1. What a wonderful celebration of your dear little man. That cake is beautiful! Is it a 9 inch? I am posting about a cake I made last week. Oh, and yes, I'll take your recipe for cheesecake. I am worried about it because my oven is so old and untrustworthy. But, I can try.
