Ben Turns Four

As most (all) of you know, Ben just turned FOUR!  The Grand-Splinters were here as well as Grandma Chris.  We had a neighbourhood hockey game in the back parking lot on Sunday complete with cheering and hockey cookies.  On Monday night we had mac and cheese and baseball shaped cupcakes.  Then Ben and Grandma and Grandpa Splinter were on Global News. No, not just a flash of his birthday but a whole story. We are working on editing in all the news casters' conversations about it because it was hilarious but here is the link for the piece.

And here are some pictures of all the action.

Birthday Boy Ben (yes that is a bike helmet)

Grown ups who play with us! Trevor, Dena and Asher

Sam and Jane cheering

Aunt Casey and Ben (what you can't see is that Casey is wearing Dan Ray's size 'something big' roller blades with no brakes)

Dane on his new blades (no Jane will never have them), Tyler's smooth moves and Ben talking to Trevor (talking not playing, surprised?)
