Benjamin woke up to a few surprises. We started a tradition of decorating the house the night before for a birthday party. It is only for our little family but always a welcome surprise for the morning. Benjamin got to open two presents in the morning. Both were treats for breakfast, Captain Crunch (he thinks this is extra special because I never buy sugar cereals but he ate it at Aaron and Hannah's house over Christmas and loved it) and powdered donuts. I would have made something else, but I had to be the substitute teacher all day for preschool so I didn't have much time in the morning.
After preschool, Benjamin opened a few more presents and played with his three new Stars Wars figurines Hans Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Chewbacca.
Then for dinner he wanted Japanese food and was very emphatic about his very own bento box with teriyaki beef and potstickers. So we headed out to our favorite Japanese restaurant. Emma loved the tofu from the miso soup and the rice, and Benjamin out ate me from his very own bento box.
We then came home to open the rest of his presents blow out the candles on his cake, and enjoy cake and ice cream.
