One of my favorite parts of each of the boys birthdays this year has been our breakfasts out together. When we are sitting at the Cobblestone Cafe over a coffee and hot chocolate I always say to myself, "Why don't I do this more often?" This was again my sentiment as I saw the smile on Caleb's face as he wolfed down his French toast, bacon and cocoa.We had a great weekend of celebrating Caleb. He was very excited to be the one to open presents all by himself. In September, he has to sit by while Ben and then Matthew open presents during their birthdays. Now it was his turn.
One of the other highlights of this weekend was Caleb joining us in "our class" at church. After 4-years-old, our church has kids sit in the service. It was one of the things that drew us to our church. It is a great (and at times difficult) thing. For instance, when we start to sing "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" and Ben looks down at me and smiles because he knows that one, it is very encouraging. We wouldn't get that type of thing if they were somewhere else. Caleb is still a little young to be there, but he will quickly catch on.It is easy to celebrate such a beautiful and sweet person as Caleb. We love him so much and thank God for the many blessings that he brings to our family.

Thanks for posting all of the birthday pics--Ben doesn't look terribly pleased during the gift opening, to be expected though :)
