I forgot to bring the camera, but I did get pictures of the cupcakes I made:
Benjamin's birthday was, of course, Spiderman themed again!
I made an actual cake for the big birthday party on Sunday the 19th, so for his actual birthday (and subsequent parties) we just had decorated cupcakes.
(Spiderman foam frame craft kit)
(Spiderman bubbles)
(Spiderman mini-notebook and markers)
(Spiderman foam Frisbee)
(Spiderman fabric he had seen at JoAnn's and asked for,
I'll make something with it later)

This year, we let him invite a few friends over for a low-key birthday party/play day. He invited 5 kids: one was sick, we didn't hear from one, and three came (Silas, Ian, and Raya). His friends came over on Saturday the 18th.
We bought little wooden magnet kits 2 for $1 at JoAnn's for the kids to color. This is Ian acting silly with his magnet:
Opening the gift from Silas (Spiderman helicopter)
Silas wanted to stand beside Benjamin when he opened the card to point out that there was a Spiderman mask inside the card.
Opening the gift from Ian (a collectible yellow car).
Raya forgot a gift (I had said they weren't required) so she gave Benjamin her Spiderman magnet:
Later that day, Grandpa Orange came to celebrate Benjamin's birthday with us.

After church on Sunday, the 19th, my [Michigan] family came for lunch, presents, and cake & ice cream.

Wow, I cannot get over how quickly everybody is growing up! How is it possible that Ben & the three girl cousins are seven already??
I know Raya! She was at both of the VBS's that Amazing Grace had and her grandparents go to Ashley :)
Yeah, it's amazing how fast they grow up!
I think Benjamin has mentioned that he's seen Raya's grandparents at Ashley before.
