Sunday was a break from all the birthday stuff. We all went out for dim sum then, while the men idled about at home, Cheryl and Anna Lee went to a coffeeshop for a meeting of Cheryl’s book club. We discussed The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry which Anna Lee’s book club at home had read a while ago. We had a fun time with the book. While there, another friend of Cheryl’s stopped by our table. He and I had a small world connection. Tom is the nephew of Marge, a friend of ours from home.
The afternoon was filled with entertainment. Bennett and the ladies enjoyed Peter and Wolf at the Kennedy Center while the men claimed to enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy at a local theater.
Monday was Bennett’s official b’day. We all went to school for cake and then out to dinner.
Bennett’s class previously had gone to the Kusama exhibit (see May 18 blog post) and then they created this tribute to the artist.
Bennett’s request for hot dogs for his birthday dinner didn’t work out because the restaurant had closed down so he had to settle for a giant milk shake and a burger.
Cheryl had to have a TV dinner (old story from her brother’s childhood, let us know if you want to hear it).
That evening Bennett had round two of present opening. Star Wars, Hot Wheels and Legos dominated but games and books were also out in force.
He certainly needed this Star Wars suitcase from his grandparents to carry his gifts upstairs.
These two books had to be read before bedtime. He laughed as he read some of the words in Bark George.
Bubbie was startled by the lightsaber
(We omitted these photos from post-b'day party, sorry). Bennett and Uncle Jeff built with his new Legos and worked on a puzzle.
Later he played a penguin game with Zadie.
He certainly found becoming five very rewarding.
What a haul.
