Little Ben's First Birthday

Michelle, Robert and the doggies all got in on the present
opening.

Sunday was Little Ben Bob's first birthday.  There was a party of course.  There were lots of friends and family present, all adults except for one little boy about BB's age.  There was cake and ice cream and beverages.  I learned that I really like cold "hard cider."  Ben got a lot of presents and was generally cute as can be.  What more can you say? Pics follow:

Little Ben didn't really know what to think about the
cake.  He played with the decorations first. But soon, he
got his very first taste of chocolate and figured out
that this cake thing might be a good deal.
