But this was really about Benjamin's birthday. Sarah modeled her new glasses
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040004
Melissa was there
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040005
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040013
and so were Jane
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040006
and Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040008
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040012
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040015
Benjamin first modeled his hat
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040007
and then worked it up his head
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040009
for a full facial
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040010
before showing off the party paraphernalia
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040011
We opened the first present
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040016
with this card from Andy
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040014
By the way, here are his new glasses in their case
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040017
After the interlude, there was this card from Josephine
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040018
with this present
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040019
Then the cake
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040020
appeared
and Benjamin took a deep breath
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040021
and started blowing
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040022
until only one
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040023
and then no
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040024
candle was lit.
SO, it was time to open the next card
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040025
which was quite nice
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040026
from Melissa
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040027
Next was the card from Aunt Anne and Uncle Irv
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040029
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040030
and the check from Grandma and Dan
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040032
and the birthday letter from Dr. Ginsburg
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040033
Then there were the final presents
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040034
the Lego held by Suzanne
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040035
the remaining wrapping paper
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040036
the Wacky Factory
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040038
and the package from L L Bean
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040039
The party was over and all that remained were the memories
../../../Sabbat/04.04.01BenjaminsBirthday//P4040040
