Ben's Birthday

Yesterday (7th), Ben celebrated his 12th birthday.  Last Wednesday, everyone went to Chuck E Cheese before we took Jeff to the airport.  Jeff wanted to do something special with all of the kids before he went home.  Because of that, we didn't do anything special last night for Ben.  This morning we got up and took all of the kids snowdog sledding.  They thought that was cool, because it is something that not many people can say they have ever done before.  It was COLD today...still no snowfall.  We also watched people ice fish on the lake for a few minutes.  After that, I took the kids to see Yogi Bear.  That was a really cute movie.  We all enjoyed it!  Ben has been wanting to go to Outback for a long time, so that's how we ended the day.  I cannot believe that we have had him for 12 years.  We love him very much and are proud that he is our son.  The boys will be attending Scouts for the first time on Monday night.  Other than that and school, there's not a lot scheduled for next week.  Things will be slowing down some and will pick back up in a few weeks.  Hope that everyone enjoys the BIG SNOW coming to SC!!
