Connor's Memorial Day Birthday Party

Connor has been BEGGING us to have a Chuck-E-Cheese birthday party for the past 2 birthdays, this year we caved......He wanted Batman cupcakes....... he was fine with one batman & the rest just yellow - thank goodness (it had been a busy weekend with Zach's friend party just 2 days before)!
Blowin' out his candles..........

Connor & Kennadee..........
Tyler & Scott.........just as into the games as the kids........
Can you tell they didn't want me to take their picture?
So this was the weirdest party ever. We had limited him to inviting 8 kids....budgets ya know. 3 of the kids couldn't come because of family commitments-totally understandable given the holiday. The morning of, his buddy Colin couldn't come since he woke up with the flu. To add to this, 10 minutes before the party started, Tyler went & ordered all the pizza/pop. Literally as soon as he got back to the tables, I get a text & a phone call saying the other 2 kids couldn't come. One was scared (not sure I understood, since parents are welcome to stay, but that's ok). The other just plain bailed....lame. Connor was so disapointed. So.....with 2 friends & a sibling (thank goodness), we had a small party for Connor. Thank you Amy, Scott, & Rachelle for coming - you are truly appreciated!!! (Oh, did I mention Brae was thrilled Summer was there? He turned beat red in the face when we asked him about it after the party :)

Zach was such a great help with Ella, although I think he may have used a few of her tokens :)Connor's got quick reflexes!
Connor beat Summer at this racing game.......gotta love that!
Ella's favorite activity there.....when it would end, she'd say "put quarter in Dad", "again, again!!!"
This is for Tyler - he HATES the big purple dinosaur.........don't worry hun.....she didn't like it either!
Connor had fun, & that's all that matters, right?
