Ben is 6!!

I know I don't post anymore, but here it goes anyhow.

Ben had an awesome birthday yesterday. I seriously can't believe he is SIX YEARS OLD!
Paul and I took him to the Mall of America per our tradition (this was our 5th year) and had some dinner and rode rides. I asked Ben the night before, "If you could have anything for dinner on your 6th birthday, what would you pick?" Ben says "Well, you know Mom, I would pick mini corn dogs."
So I had to find a restaurant that served mini corn dogs, and of course, I did. We went to Buffalo Wild Wings and he got his dream birthday dinner. We also got a free piece of chocolate cake and ice cream. Delish.
He opened his present from us right away when we sat down - a Nintendo DS with a game and accessories. He has been asking for one since January 2010 and I told him he could get one when he was six. He remembered.
So next, we went on to Nickelodeon Universe. He loved it and rode as many rides as he could. I am always so impressed at his manners compared to other kids in line and on rides. He is just so GOOD.
Anyways, we had fun and I am sure that the year will fly by and before I know it, he will be SEVEN. God help me.....
