Ben's Birthday

November 9 marks a very special day on the Smith calendar. It is Ben's birthday!! This year his birthday fell on a Sunday, so we could celebrate him all day long. Ro enjoyed watching Ben blow out his candles on his birthday cake at the Drumms on Saturday night (thanks, Shanny, for an awesome birthday dinner). She REALLY likes Ben's birthday gift (and Christmas gift, and next birthday gift, and next Christmas gift, etc.) - an iPhone. She thinks the big colour display and flashy icons are a pretty neat toy! Next birthday in the Smith household - Nana's on Wednesday, Uncle Randy's later in the month, and then Ro's on December 3rd. :)

Ben and Ro enjoying some father/daughter time together on his birthday.
Ro reading Ben his birthday card. She was pretty excited!
"Peek-a-boo, Dada, I see you!"
For those of you who know dear Ro, she is screaming her delight in this picture. "Balloons!! Really!!?? And it's not even my birthday yet!"
Testing the strength of the balloons. "Yup, they are pretty strong. They hold me up!"
Ro enjoying walking with her "mail cart". She delivered Ben's birthday card to him. "Thanks, Nolan and Shane, for sharing it with me!"

Rowyn is so sweet and growing up so fast! She always looks so happy, and I can't imagine her any other way with parents like you guys who have such a healthy perspective on life and loving others. She's a blessed little girl to be raised by you!
