He chose to go to Carino&#8217;s for dinner and it was yummy. We celebrated with his family with a birthday cake from Backer&#8217;s &#8211; only the best pastry shop in the valley. From me he received the 6th volume of the Loony Toons Golden collection, to complete his set. This past week we celebrated again, but this time in the form of a surprise birthday party for him and his high school buddy, Jeff. Unfortunately I couldn&#8217;t keep the secret from Ben, but he had fun anyway. Enjoy these pictures from that night!</p> <p>Here is our group: Jessica, Robert and kids Emily and Lindsey; Me, Ben and Molly (Anna was sick and spent the evening with grandma); Troy, Hilary and kids Ellie, Mary and Sadie; Jeff, Julie and kids Cameron and Katie.</p> <p><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3249/3142737363_022a53ae0e.jpg?v=0" alt="" /></p> <p>Here is Ben blowing out the candle &#8211; don&#8217;t you love Molly&#8217;s face?
