Birthday Number Three!

Layne turned 3 yesterday! The time goes so so fast. When her mom and dad asked her what she wanted to do for her birthday Chuck E. Cheese was the answer. If you don't know what that is I will tell you. A pizza parlor geared toward kids. Lots of games, kids, and fun. The kids get tokens and can put them in the games or rides and play, play, play. It was fun to go as a grandparent. Probably because as a grandparent you get the fun without the responsibility???

Even some of the adults got into the game playing. I am not sure who won this basketball game but there was some serious trash talking!
And of course Kristin and Layne had a little competition squirting water to make Barbie or Ken move in their cars! Layne looks pretty intense in the bottom picture. Maybe she has Kristin's competitive spirit!
For about the first hour of the party Layne and her cousins just ran from activity to activity. Once in a while Layne would stop and talk to her mom to get some more tokens. I had to steal her for a minute to get a picture with the two of us.

Of course there was food, presents, and cake complete with blowing out the candles!!!

There was even an appearance by Mr. Chuck E. Cheese himself. He got the birthday song going and paraded the kids around letting everyone know there was a birthday being celebrated.Happy Birthday Layne! We all love you!
