Happy Birthday Ben

For some reason this year the kids have been so excited about Ben's birthday.  That day they not only helped me clean the house, they initiated the cleaning up.  Then they decorated the entire dinning room with streamer and completed the look by giving everyone a Perry the Platypus blower, a cartoon character that Ben loves.  They set out the designated birthday plate that everyone uses for their birthday dessert, but the kids decided Ben needed it for his dinner as well.
 

The kids made up their mind a long time ago that Ben needed a waffle maker for his birthday.  Why, you ask?  Has he been wanting one?  Nope.  I have no idea why.  The morning of his birthday he opened his waffle maker which in the kids minds that meant for dinner we were having waffles.  Maybe now I know why the kids insisted on getting him one......they want more waffles.  To make it a little more of a southern dish I added some fried chicken to the meal.

Instead of the same ole birthday cake I opened up a can of cinnamon rolls and placed them on the waffle maker.

 
Within just seconds we had beautiful little cinnamon waffles! 

 

Happy Birthday to a wonderful husband and father!
