Ben's "Beach" Bash

Last weekend we had a family party for Ben's birthday. We waited so that Grandma Penny & Grandpa Mike could be here. It was a beach-themed party. Anyone that knows me KNOWS that I love a theme - and usually go nuts with it!

Here's our "nephew" Winston (Pete & Kath's dog) with his treat bag - or bucket in this case! It was a beach-themed party after all!

Here's the weed wacker from Auntie Aimee & Uncle Ryan. If we would have known, we would have made him open this last. It was all he wanted. He honestly did not even care that there were a bunch of other presents to open. So we let him play with the weed wacker for a bit because he was completely overwhelmed anyway. He came back to open the rest eventually! Thanks everyone! He's having a blast with all of his new stuff! Once everything calmed down he was able to process it all and enjoy his new toys. I think the whole party was just tooooo much for him!

It's not a Lagestee family party without Grandma Betty's rice krispies! She always decorates them with a ton of candy and they are so cute. The kids love them!

The cake!

Happy Birthday Ben!
