Bennett Is One-derful

The next few days centered around Bennett becoming one and he did a masterful job of it.  We started in a garden near the Hirshhorn Museum for family photos.  This year sees not only Bennett’s first birthday but Dave and Cheryl’s tenth anniversary and Jerry and Anna Lee’s 50th, so photos were the order of the day.  Jeff came from New York to join in our celebrations

The next day was Bennett’s day of celebration which he enjoyed with family and close friends.  He did all the right things, smiling when in front of the camera, babbling and giggling at friendly faces.  His best act was eating his own cupcake.  He found it tasty as well as good to smear.  He gave loving thank yous for all his wonderful gifts and good wishes.

On his official day, he went with Bubbe and Zaidy to Hillwood Gardens.  There he chased his Bubbe about and pushed her over while Zaidy took pictures.  It was a wonderful day of laughter for all three.

In the evening he enjoyed a birthday dinner at Masala Arts, an Indian restaurant that he rates four hand claps.  Yes, he does like Indian food.  Then he delighted his parents with his ever more amazing antics and just had a great time celebrating.
