Happy Birthday, Ben!!!

My wonderful, amazing, sweet, husband has now caught up to me in age. He turned 25 today, welcome to the club. Happy birthday, sweetheart, and don't worry just because you are now a quarter of a century old, you're young in my eyes.(You'd better say the same about me:) The best thing about being 25 is now Ben can rent a car and we have lower car insurance! He is truly an adult. For his birthday we went out to eat at Red Lobster Friday night where we had the all you can eat shrimp. Thank's grandma and grandpa Kjar for the gift card. And Saturday morning Ben had one of his most favorite foods his mother makes, an egg and ham casserole. (Bonnie, thanks for sending the recipe to me and walking me through the preparation steps.) And then he opened his presents. Unfortunately being in graduate school he was a little too busy to spend the whole day celebrating, but he enjoyed his birthday "moment."
Oh, and no, we didn't have cake, but he did get his own pint of caramel and chocolate Dove ice cream. I only stole a few bites:)

My two good looking men celebrating Ben's birthday in style at Red Lobster.
Eating the "All you can eat shrimp." It was yummy, yummy.

Landon, a.k.a. Bubba, offered to get the check, although he doesn't exactly look thrilled about it.
And here is Ben on his birthday preparing to eat his wife's attempt at his mother's recipe. (It turned out pretty good).
