Benton's Superhero party

The day after I arrived back into town, our big boy turned FIVE!  Aunt E had texted me earlier in the week asking if she could throw him a little party.  I told a few friends from church and our family and thought we'd eat some pizza and swim at Nana's pool.  When we got there, E had the CUTEST Batman party waiting for us.  Benton is a lucky boy to have so many that love him!  

Big birthday boy!

We all got a little wet from the waterguns

sweet sweet friends!

Thanks you two for setting up such a cute party!

Michael got quite the workout

So did Chase!  Hudson has no fear in the pool (or elsewhere) and neither does Caleb.  They are a handful in the water!

Caleb got some Ernie lovin'

Clayton found the cookies, and helped himself to several.  Then he showed Jack where to go!

I could not ask for better kids than this group.  Each and every one of these families are so special to us.

Love little L!

This isn't the first cupcake for either of these three cousins.

Aunt E knows how to throw a party!

Thanks E, for making this such a special birthday for Benton.  We love you!!!

This evening was a perfect escape from the hardships of our journey.  It was fun evening celebrating Benton, gathered with family and friends who have supported us for many months now in Hunter's transplant.  We all had a blast.  It will be so sweet to have Hunter there with us next year!  I ended the day snuggled up with Benton beside me.  We aren't big on co-sleeping in our house, but this was the sweetest ending to a day spent loving on my little man.
