Today is the day! Conner and Ben are 13 years old!!! Unbelievable! We started the day with breakfast sandwiches, courtesy of Dad. The boys opened some gifts from us. The big surprise was new bikes!(which were not easy to find, by the way!) We took the bikes outside and the boys jumped on and immediately loved them! Mama, Papa, and Great Grandpa were able to come and enjoy the afternoon with us. Nick smoked ribs, which were amazing, and the guys got to open more presents! Conner and Ben wanted ice cream lasagna for their second cake! For dinner, we were all quite full, so we decided to let the boys have dessert for dinner and made giant chocolate chip cookies with ice cream and whipped cream. We had to sing and blow out candles just one more time for these super special birthday boys! They wanted to camp out in the basement tonight, so we put some mattresses downstairs and the boys had a great time watching movies and ultimately sleeping downstairs! They said it was the best birthday! I still can't believe they are 13, but I am so proud of both of our boys. It has been a tough several months, but they have persevered and done so well at home. Despite the uncertainty of our reality, we have enjoyed the extra time together. Conner and Ben, you are everything to us. We love you so much! Happy Birthday, my loves!
