Benjamin Elijah Graber

Benjamin turned 4 at the end of May.

 He wanted a Pirate Party!

 It was a lot of work!  I couldn't have pulled it off without my darling friend Bryndalyn.  She bought Benjamin this pinata!

This cake was almost the death of me, it kept falling apart, luckily it stayed together for the party!

Cupcakes!

Lots of yummy food.  I did Pioneer Woman's spicy pulled pork.  It was so good!

The fam.

What a sweet birthday boy!

All of Benjamin's loot!

Benjamin and his friends.

Blowin' out the cannon candles!

Mmmmmm, cake.

The much desired zhu zhu pet!

 Benjamin smacking the pinata!

It was a great party.  I can't believe my little boy is 4.

Dear Dad,

Dad,

There are so many things that make you a great father, and since it would take me a long time to list them all, here are a few of the reasons that you are so special to me.

 

 You are the most honest person I know.

You're also the most generous person I know.  You help everyone.  You never complain about it either, you just do it and don't expect anything in return.  You are truly selfless, and I strive to be like you in that aspect.

You have an amazing work ethic.  You taught me that hard work is rewarding.

You love your wife.  You are a great husband.

You love your grandkids.

You're a good dancer, even though my wedding was the only time we've ever danced!

You love to make memories with your family.

You make sure everyone is having a good time.

You love animals and they LOVE you.

You always let my kids drive the boat.

You teach Noah things I can't.

You love your wife.  You have set a great example in what marriage should be.

You show my kids cool stuff.

Like, how to ride a 4 wheeler!

And coloring in the lines.

And how good John Wayne movies are.

You love my kids.

You give them junk food.  I really do love this!  They can count on you for good snacks!

 
You always have room in your chair for Noah, Benjamin and Ella.

I love you Dad, more than you know.  Thanks for being that awesome man that you are!

Happy Father's Day!
