February Birthday Boys

When I arrived home from California on the 13th, I came home to a houseful of company.  The Wissinks had arrived the day before so that we could have an early birthday celebration for Jeremiah.  Ben joined us on Saturday, so we could also celebrate his birthday a bit late.

Cheryl and I had done some shopping on my last day in California.  She was actually looking for shoes for Josie, but didn't find any. She did, however, find a pair for Hope that she couldn't quite resist.  So she sent them along home with me, along with Jeremiah's birthday present.

What's a birthday without presents when you're 6 years old?  Jeremiah was pretty happy with the things he opened--he loves Legos!!  

He was also pretty excited about the Dizzy Fun Land building set, and he was a little disappointed that he couldn't start building it right away.  He had to wait until he got back home, and then he and his Daddy tackled it pretty quickly. 

Jeremiah's choice for a birthday dinner was Red Robin, so that's where we went. Sorry, no picture of that.  But when we got back home it was time for cake, picked out at the store by Grandpa, since Grandma wasn't home to bake one. 

6 years old!!

The Birthday Boys

We're not sure about this, but we suspect that a certain little girl was a bit of a "draw" for Ben to drive up from Chicago. Hope has definitely worked her way into her Uncle Ben's heart in a big way!!

It was a fun time celebrating the two February birthday boys!
