Mommy's Best Birthday Ever!

Despite trying to forget about my birthday this year (why bother, it just reminds me that I'm getting older), Ben and Dexter made it the best birthday ever. First, Dex and I went to the Christmas service at Daddy's church gig (Dex and I had a yummy breakfast date while Ben had practice prior to the service).

I got to see Dexter join all the other children in the procession that started the service.

When we got home, it was time for birthday cake and presents. Dex made the most amazing "coloring book" for me. Ben said it was all his idea and that he had never seen Dexter so focused.

It took hours over the course of a couple of days but I ended up with a fabulous "20 pages My First Power Book". The first ten pages consisted of various trucks (with descriptions written by Dexter).

The next ten pages consisted of hot rods (with descriptions dictated by Dexter and written down by Ben).As I colored the first page, Dex stood next to me providing positive feedback and encouragement, "Great job coloring, Mom."
