Ben got so many great gifts and he seemed more interested in the gift opening than ever before. He even helped tear a few open. The weather was beautiful too so people were able to get outside and enjoy the day. We had an ice cream party since Ben has shown a liking to vanilla ice cream in the past. I also got some cupcakes and let Ben have a taste of both cupcake icing and ice cream (his first tastes in over a year - since his airway showed no improvement I'm going to go ahead and start tastes again... obviously that wasn't causing the swelling). Once Ben saw me eating and realized I was presenting him with food, he was game! He enjoyed both sweet treats.
Thank you everyone for making Ben's birthday party so great. If anyone deserves a great birthday party, it's Ben! And for those out of towners not able to make it, you were with us in spirit!

What a fun party and what great pictures you posted Amy! It was fun to see Ben taking an interest in his big day and especially the red car toy. It's a shame it broke. Hopefully, the other one will get to you soon. You did a great job on his party...everything was so festive! We're so glad we could celebrate with you.
Love,
Aunt Jen
Happy, Happy 3rd Birthday Ben! You looks so excited for your presents and ice cream. The picture of you licking the ice cream reminds me so much of Evan--he loves to lick also (most recently, he is a fan of swimming pool water). So exciting to start preschool--Evan's starting Sept 20th. Our boys are growing up fast!
Looks like you had a great birthday, Ben! Happy #3!
Leslie, Arlin & Katie
