Easter Saturday at Ali`s

Had a great dinner at Ali`s for Easter Saturday, it was SO great to see the two boys playing together, Benton just needs to learn to be a little more gentle.

Akira taught Benton how to shoot hoops today, it was awesome. Thanks Akira!

Finally! Benton is finally taking a few steps!

Will have to remember to take pictures of the adults next time!

Grandpa Ball and Benton

Benton Turns 1!!

I can't believe he's already 1, we've been through a lot this past year, he is growing like crazy and seems to be developing into quite the character. I can't believe we had TWO parties for him, although I don't think it would have been possible to combine the two as our house doesn't quite accommodate that many comfortably!

We wanted to do something NEW for Benton's 1st Birthday so we took him to the Vancouver Aquarium for his 1st time.

Benton meets Santa for the 1st time. December 3rd, 2009

We went to meet Santa at Richmond Centre and couldn't believe how well-behaved Benton was. So much so that Santa got a little misty-eyed saying that Benton was 'so well-rounded' and that he made his day! Santa even gave ME a hug and thanked me for bringing him in!
