Birthday Buddies Birthday Bash

Had a little Birthday Bash for my Birthday Buddies last weekend.... Tracy and Torrey flew over from Houston so Tracy could celebrate her Big day with her Birthday Buddy Ben.  So many "B's"!!!  We had a great weekend (more on that to come...) but here's how the party went...  Cake from PUBLIX.  Tracy got to pick the cake (since Ben picked pizza for dinner)... so he told her to make sure it was "marble" cake, and that it had blue, green, and yellow frosting.  So, YOU ARE WELCOME, Tracy, for getting to pick the cake!

The kids eating on the back porch... Also for dinner (because Ben picked Little Caesar's Pizza, and I could NOT make my parents eat it), I talked Tracy into making lasagna.  It was so good.  Sorry you had to make your own dinner, Tracy.  That's what you get for making it so good!  (actually, she volunteered, so I'm not SUCH a terrible hostess).

Presents... Ben got this very cool pinball machine from Grammy and Papoo.  Ok, he LOVES this thing.  Our Totally-Techno Boy loves the "old fashioned game".  Go figure.   He also got money towards the iPod Touch he is saving for.

Tracy and the gift I made her...

Ben got a Bakugan set from his grandparents, also...

Tracy threw her wrapping paper at Ben and we thought this picture was GREAT!  (*photographer credit goes to Uncle Steve for the majority of the pictures!  THANKS STEVE!!!)

Making a wish!

Cookies, courtesy of Rochel... they were so delicious!

And you can see who will pose for ANY picture, right???  Nice:)  Thanks to Rochel, Edgar, and Eli for coming over... My parents, who are now off in Israel for 3 months (count them, one-two-three), and Steve... and well, you know WE were there, and Torrey! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BIRTHDAY BUDDIES!!!!
