Ben had a birthday last week and turned nine!
We celebrated with his favorite dinner of steak, cream cheese mashed potatoes, and peas. Then he opened his presents. Some of his favorites were a harmonica, a nerf basketball hoop for his bedroom door (to replace one that broke a few months ago),
a chess set that David brought from Iraq,
and a pocket telescope/microscope that he got from Grandma Hales.
His big present was a basketball hoop for the back patio that he and David are still working on putting together.
Ben chose to have chocolate cheesecake pie instead of a birthday cake. It was delicious!
Happy Birthday Ben! We love you!
After we assembled his nerf basketball hoop and put it up, Ben immediately started playing and figured out he was finally tall enough to slam dunk it. He decided that maybe turning nine had made him taller after all!

Nine! Are you kidding me?? Ben is supposed to be around 5 and his face should be much rounder.
