Ben's 6th Birthday!

 At the beginning of January the kids had an awards ceremony.   

 Elizabeth with her 2nd grade teacher. 

 Ben also had an awards ceremony in his classroom. 

 I just thought this was so funny.  Ben was so embarrassed about being in front of everyone so he turned completely sideways and wouldn't face forward.  He's such a shy boy! 

 I also came up to help during Cowboy day. 

 Look at the excitement on that boy's face!  :)

 On to the birthday!  Since we had Ben's birthday in Disney World we just did a low key birthday with our neighbors, cousins, and a couple friends from school.  We had a movie party. 

 

 Ben looks a little excited to hear about the games!

First they did a relay with a partner and popcorn.   

 Whoo - Emma and Nick won!

 

 Then we switched and the partner who was on the floor went. 

 Then they balanced popcorn on a spoon. 

 During this game the kids tossed popcorn into their partners cups. 

 Ben being goofy with his classmates. 

 I love all the action shots!

 Amelia hung out and watched - she didn't want to be a part of the craziness. 

 

 Before the movie the kids filled treat bags with popcorn and candy. 

 

 Finally movie time!

 Time to sing!

 Present time! (It was a mass of kids surrounding me and Ben.  That's what I get for sitting on the floor). 

I can't get over the fact that we have a 6 year old boy!
