Amy's Birthday, part 1- Chuck E. Cheese

 Tomorrow (the 19th) is Amy's actual birthday. But tomorrow night will be kind of rushed so we decided to celebrate part of her birthday tonight- at Chuck E. Cheese. I remember going there on my birthday's as a kid. (My mom only did birthday parties every other year, so the in between years we went to dinner as a family and we got to choose the spot. Of course, we always chose Chuck E. Cheese)

She was looking forward to it all day. And the whole "celebrating tonight" thing kind of confused her. She said, "Do I have another birthday?" But that definitely didn't deter her from having fun!

Tuesday night was the night to go. We had practically the entire place to ourselves (we were the only ones there at first). Then when I told the lady it was Amy's birthday, they gave her some extra tokens,which Amy just thought was awesome. And to top things off- there was a staffer going around, just playing the games and leaving the tickets for the kids to take. Jackpot! haha.

Will was having sensory overload. He didn't make a peep the whole time we were there!

Since it was her birthday, she got to go up to the stage and dance with Mr. Chuck E Cheese. On the way to the stage, Amy asked his handler (???) if he would play a game with her, and he did. What a nice mouse. After the songs, they threw out tickets, which was fun too.

All in all- it was a fun night at the cheese house. (Although I'm not sure who had more fun, Amy or Lee. I had to tell him to stop playing games because we ran out of tokens and after all- it was Amy's birthday. Chuck E. Cheese- where a kid can be a kid! What a great slogan for both of them)

I know Nicole loves to go to Chuck E. Cheese as well for her birthdays. I can say prowdly that I have never been to one. The one closest to us closed years ago I had heard it wasn't very good so we never went. Glad you all had so much fun though and I would go myself after seeing your pictures. Glad she's having so much fun with her extra birthdays. Love always.

I love Chuck E. Cheese. And I think their pizza is good too. Adam likes it still too. Glad you hit a quiet night. I remember taking you kids and the place was a zoo. Happy Birthday Amy.
