Happy Birthday, Mr. Bennett!



Bennett Christian McKercher Friess turned the ripe old age of four on Saturday. He was so excited to have a birthday. He was thrilled when he got a glowing lightsaber from his parents and a cool remote control car from his grandparents. We had a fancy waffle breakfast and then spent much of the day at the zoo. We had pizza for dinner with a peanut butter chocolate cake for dessert.

We love having Bennett in our family. He is a ball of energy! He is always doing karate & jedi moves, running, jumping, bouncing, wrestling, moving. He loves to help Mom with jobs around the house, especially dusting. He is the world's greatest mixer in the kitchen. He loves to read books and is quickly learning his letters. He is a great cuddler and give super hugs. He adores his brother and sister, and is VERY excited for his new baby brother to come. Bennett says long, elaborate prayers where he lists everything he is grateful for, including his "new"house (where we have lived for over a year), his "new" bed (passed on from Jackson a year ago), his "new" clothes (hand-me-downs), and his new preschool (which he will start in the fall). Bennett is a joy to have around and we love him very much!

Is Bennett already 4?? I remember when you were pregnant with him. It was soooo exciting!
I'm so happy you all were blessed with such a special little guy.

BTW. Did you move? Where's your new house? Are you still in the Raleigh Hills Ward?
