We had Ben's birthday party yesterday. Here are some photos:
This was taken at Parque Chapultepec on the day of Ben's 5th Birthday.
The crab cake that Chris made for Ben. (In the weeks before his birthday Ben had gone down the list of all the different kinds of cakes he wanted: a rainforest cake, a bat in a cave cake, a mole cake, etc. 3 days before his party, we told him that he had to make up his mind on a final and he chose a crab cake.)
The cousins were going to come for his party but at the last minute they weren't able to so Ben was very happy that his little friends were still able to come over.
Traditional family photo. It's so cute how Ben can't stop looking at the cake.
Ben asked me if he could have a 'surprise' party. So, even though he knew that we were having the party, we asked everyone to hide and pop out yelling 'Surprise!' when he came out into the porch. He got all startled and covered his ears with his hands but he was so happy! (Note the cute little Sebastian crab that Agnes gave him for his birthday. It's entered the club of Ben's favorite stuffed animals and occupies a special corner on his bed.)
Time for the presents!
Happy with his new dinos!
Anisha very sweetly gave Ben her old bike for his birthday. We fixed it up, got him some training wheels and a helmet & voila! Perfect gift! (A few weeks ago we took Ben in for a foot checkup and the Dr. recommended a bike for him as it helps to straighten little kids' legs if they're turning in at the knees. So that suggestion makes this gift even better for him.)
that's a huge cake! I wish I could be a little kid again so I could eat an entire cake and still feel happy. Ben looks adorable in all these pics, and Chris you did a good job with that cake! lots of talent! love you all
Hi Naty. I bumped into your blog. Your family is just adorable!!! Super cute! Handsome hubby too. You're probably having a birthday sometime, aren't you. You're about 6 months older than me...a Leo, I think. Anyway, lots of love from Flor, or Esther or whatever you wanna call me. XX
Hey Esther, thanks for leaving a comment. Good memory! My bday is August 22nd. I've seen your blog a couple times. Your little boy is so cute. Would be good to chat sometime and catch up. Love you!
