Benny is 12!!

 My youngest is 12!  Bennett is 12, how crazy is that?  Bennett has been talking about his birthday for a LONG time, and we always try to make it special (as all the kids’), but especially with how close to Christmas it falls.  We had yummy donuts to take into school to share, I brought Culver’s in for him for lunch, and we capped the day off at American Char having some delicious BBQ, and the finale, mint chocolate chip Oreo Ice Cream Cake.  His favorite gift was the Josh Jacobs Packers Jersey that he’s been talking about non-stop.  He had pretty much decided I would never spend that $ on a jersey, so his look of surprise was awesome when he opened it up!  Of course, he wore it right to school that very day!

Bennett is having a great year, he loves his new school and is doing well and making friends.    He has been playing tennis this past summer and fall and is enjoying that!  He is getting golf clubs (SHHH!) for Christmas, as he’s expressed an interest in learning how to golf.  I said now we are into bougie sports!  Haha!!

Here’s a few of Bennett’s favorite things:

Food:  Tacos and Mac and Cheese

Restaurant:  Qdoba

What he wants to be when he grows up:  he doesn’t know this year (after saying banker for many many years)

Favorite teams:  Tottenham, U of Michigan, Packers

Color:  Purple

Favorite Vacation:  Arizona (he likes hiking)

Bennett loves to be busy, loves to be a part of what’s happening.  He’s been my buddy for so long, it will be hard as he starts to get busier and more independent.  He’s a very sweet, caring boy and he’s the perfect kiddo to be #4!  We love you Bennett!!
