Ben’s birthday is actually on June 5th; however, this year he celebrated his 2nd Birthday on Sunday, June 3rd. This year Ben, Margaret-Ann and John’s youngest grandson (Will will be 5 years old in November), had a nautically themed party. Margaret-Ann and John arrived in Toronto around 11:00 a.m. and played with the boys while parents, Jeremy and Jennifer, took care of all the last minute party preparations.
The rest of the guests showed up at noon and partied the afternoon away. A great time was had by all – especially young Ben!

Ben shows us he is ambidextrous – using both a spoon and his fingers to eat his Birthday cake.
Slowing down a bit, Ben shows his skill with the just the spoon.

John and Margaret-Ann enjoy yet another excellent adventure!!!
