We celebrated Ben’s 6th birthday this weekend! It was an Octonaut theme, he really likes them and at the moment wants to be an underwater explorer when he grows up. We had some family and friends over and Ben picked a friend from the bus to invite. First time inviting a new friend, it was kind of a big deal :)

Our gift to Ben was an XS snowmobile helmet so he can go on rides with Andy this winter. He got a few slow rides around the yard last year, but if he wants to go on the trails he needs a helmet. Little bobblehead!

Cassidy and Brielle were into Ben’s Pokemon cards.

We lucked out with great weather and the kids got to play outside for a bit!

Make a wish!

Ben and his new friend Lincoln enjoyed powerwheels, nerf guns and running around outside.

Ben couldn’t wait to open his Octonaut gift after everyone went home.

This morning he dug right into his lego sets too! The pirate ship shirt kills me, my mom gave it to him for the first day of school and he LOVES it. I need to start washing it less so he doesn’t have it to wear as soon as it comes back upstairs ;-)

Thanks to everyone who came out to help us celebrate Ben! I don’t know how he’s 6 already but we love him, I think we’ll keep him :)
