Curious? Happy Birthday Benji!

What happens when you get 8 kids together for a Birthday Party?

We see alot of monkeying around...Playing on the swing set, bouncing balls, reading Curious George plants a tree, followed by a Bug craft, and Planting a Pear tree in our Yard(yes this is exactly what Benji wanted for his birthday...He was bound and determined to plant his own tree for his birthday-our yards first tree.)

One Happy Boy to Get his Own Fruit Tree!

Everyone worked together shoveling dirt to plant our 1st tree...

Then each of the kids got to choose a seed to plant and take home in their own pot with their little bug label.

More monkeing around followed by our attempt to have the kids have a water balloon toss...

turns out 6 year olds don't have the coordination to work a balloon toss...

But a water balloon fight is always a winner!

Aunt Chelsie was the most soaked-Thanks Dan!

Banana Splits with their choice of toppings-Banana butterscotch Curious George Cake-

The Party's not over till the Pinata Busts!

I wanted to share some of the best family times we shared here as I continue to slip in the full updates as I go. So this post is a teaser of some of the great times we have had with our family in 2009.
