Ole' Ben Barker had an actual birthday this year.
He's 9. All grown up.
He's very sensitive to when and how we celebrate since it only comes around every 4 years. Cam on Modern Family anyone?!
So what did I do? Had a surprise party for him...eh... not on his real birthday. Bahaha! On Friday I realized we should have a surprise party for him on Saturday so with the help of my trusty friends we pulled it off.
A dance party might seem random but their is a back story (of course there is...).
Ben and his friend Daniel once had a "dance club" in their bedroom in college. It was called "The Retro" and consisted of some lights and a random mirrored ball. It was pretty ghetto, but we decided to bring back the ole' Retro and have a first rate dance party with the Dance Central Kinect game. He was totally surprised and we had a hilarious night competing with our dance crews.
I think Chels and Krista took the gold, although Shalayne and I were a close second.
Clayton and his masterpiece. He's pretty darn good with the graffiti...
Happy Birthday love! Glad we don't have to do it again for another 4 ;)
