Ben's Farm Birthday!

My nephew Ben is two!! Yea! Hard to believe. Ben's mom (my sister Laura) planned an adorable farm-themed birthday party for him. Here is Ben with his b-day hat.




The incredible barn she made. The kids LOVED playing in it. Here are Cooper and Elizabeth in front of the barn.




Cooper and Ben playing in the barn with the "hay." (Laura made some paper hay) Cooper thought it was SO fun taking the hay and putting it on top of people. Can you tell? I videotaped his funny screams but I'm having a hard time downloading the video, so I'll try again.



Ashlynn, Elizabeth, and birthday boy Ben playing in the barn.





Cooper trying out the fishing game. Laura had the garage set up with four different games for the kids to play. It was great, the kids were out there almost the whole time playing.



Here's Ben (with Drew in the background and Elizabeth in the front) searching for the farm animals in the hay.




Elizabeth and Jake "milking" the cow. They had a great time doing this. Isn't this a creative idea?




Cooper playing in Ben's ball pit that he got for his b-day. (He has a ball in his shirt-Uncle Chris taught him to do that! :))





Cute birthday boy Ben!



Here are some of the kids posing. There were other children there running around, so this is who we could get posed together. The kids are: Zach, Ben, Elizabeth holding Cooper (at this point I think it turned into a choke-hold :)) , Drew, and Josh.

Good job capturing the party! I love Elizabeth's "hold" on Cooper - she is so sweet. :)
