Happy Birthday party day, Andrew!!!
A "Cheerful Monster Party" at Chuck E Cheese was Andrew's request.
I'm not a fan of Chuck E. Cheese. To put it nicely.
But he really wanted his party there...and a shot at that 1000 ticket in the "ticket blaster."
Ready for the party!
The kids had a fantastic time playing games. It was fun seeing them scurry all around with their little cups of tokens.
Lots of excitement with Chuck E. at the cake. :)
We know so many sweet little kids.
Then it was time...the moment Andrew had waited for...the Ticket Blaster!!! (Can you see his big smile in the photo?) We had discussed a strategy before the party. Tuck in the shirt, and shove the tickets down the front of his shirt. Those tickets started swirling like crazy and I thought there's no way he'll even get one!
But he did! He was SO happy when he got out and started pulling the tickets out of his shirt and unfolded one to find that it was the 1000 ticket!!
I was SO happy for him.
SO, so so happy.
He "bought" a plush space "Angry Bird" with his tickets and is still completely thrilled over it.
I think this will be one of those fantastic childhood memories that he won't forget.
I'm happy we went to Chuck E Cheese after all.
:)
PS. This one's for you, Dan....
WOW, that is one fabulous birthday! I love the shot with his tongue sticking out:) Who wouldn't want to go in the ticket blaster?! I'm impressed with his "skills" in the booth and coming away with the desired loot.
ReplyDeleteThat cake ... seriously?! ... the creation of the cake is amazing and so stinkin cute ... the inside is insanely fun! ... don't know how you pull it off each and every time! :)
I will never forget watching Andrew in the ticket blaster - he handled the crazy flying tickets with such focus and joy! I LOVE that he was able to snag the "golden" ticket, way to go Andrew! A wonderfully fun party for a very special boy, well done, Kathy.
