Chris is Six

This was the year for THE FRIEND PARTY! Friend and Family Parties alternate in our home from year to year. And for the past 3 weeks Christopher has been speaking non-stop of Chuck-E-Cheese! AUGH! (Glenn and I can't stand CEC! Glenn even said to me, "Try to talk him out of it!") We tried Pump It Up (bouncy slides), Canyonlands (rock climbing) and a few others but there was no getting past Chuck-E-Cheese.

Now, Christopher is not into The BIG Rat, the stage, the crummy food... he's into THE TOKENS, THE GAMES, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, the GAMES THAT GET THE MOST TICKETS! Why? So, he can get all those trinky-dinky prizes at the end (cash in the tickets for prizes)!

Our goal was to get Ben, Nick and Zach to play all the games that gave out tons of tickets, and they did a GREAT JOB! After exactly 1 hour... we had spent 400 tokens and walked out with 1,600+ tickets. That's my kind of party! Each child had trinkets galore!

He invited 7 friends, but only 4 were able to come! And after an hour at Chuck-E-Cheese, we were ready for pizza and racecar cake!

Fun! I don't know why, but my kids also LOVE Chuck E. Cheese. I'm glad Chris had a great birthday.
