"Happy Birthday, Benjamin!"

On Friday, festivities began with a cupcake party. Joshua, Daniel, Abigail, Caleb, Sarah Katherine Wenger, Andrew and Emmy McClymonds were the guests. Sunday, his actual birthday, included sharing donuts with his Sunday School class, meals with menus chosen by Benjamin, play time at the park, present opening and cake. Originally, Benjamin's choices for food on his birthday were "cupcakes and cokes". We expanded a bit to include pizza and salad for lunch and chicken nuggets, mac-n-cheese and green beans for dinner. It was a fun day of celebrating. Benjamin, we are grateful for each day we have had with you. We love you!

Ice Storm




Joshua took this video of our back yard during the recent ice storm. As a result of the ice, we were without power for 54 hours.
