Ben's Big Day


(birthday morning celebration at home)

We just celebrated Ben's birthday. We strung the celebrating out over a few days because of our schedule and up coming vacation. We had some friends over for a BBQ. I tried to make it outdoorsy, with camo, camping chairs and brown and green balloons, and decoys on the deck. Last minute I was even able to find a little hunting set up for his cake. I saved 1 gift for Ben to open on his actual birthday on our trip, but unfortunately the day before the club called and told him is membership card (to a shooting range) was ready for pick up. After some confusion, he figured out that was his gift. I was pretty sad that the surprise was ruined, but he was still happy about the gift. We are so happy to start another year with Ben!

I refinished this dresser so Ben could get a TV on it for our bedroom. This set up is pretty sweet.
