Happy Birthday Ben, I can’t believe you’re 10 years old!   How can that much time pass by so quickly?

Seems like yesterday you looked like this as you carefully eyed your cake (funny!):

A decade later, you’re still eagerly appreciating your birthday cake (who doesn’t? everyone should! ):

all 13 of us had a blast at your party in our special private room at Flatbread Pizza in Portsmouth.

When I think of who you’ve become – who you are today – these are some of the words that spring to mind:

Funny.  Smart. Kind. Achiever.  Friendly. Caring. Soccer. Gamer. Dog lover.  Avid book reader. Wonderful big brother.  Incredible grandson. No longer a “little kid.”  Artist.  Perceptive. Humor.

Grammy and I are so lucky YOU paved the way in the wild & crazy world of grandparenting. We love you “wicked lots” and are very proud of who you’ve become!
