Chuck E Cheez-its

Yesterday we celebrated Jackson's 5th birthday at Chuck E Cheese (or Chuck E Cheez-its as Jackson and Mia call it) and really had a good time. I was skeptical since it was our first destination party, but I really enjoyed the whole not cleaning the house, not cooking part of the party. All of the kids had a total blast playing the games, getting tickets, and feeding the tickets to the chomping ticket monster to redeem them for prizes. I think the adults had a good time too. Mia really liked meeting Chuck E and I have a feeling she will be requesting a Chuck E Cheese party for her birthday in February. He got some excellent gifts including a toy guitar, air drumsticks, children encyclopedias, a new game for his Vsmile system, and a lite brite. I was surprised by how much he enjoyed the lite brite since he has difficulty focusing at times, but he wanted to do each one of the picture sheets that it came with after the party. Think we will be making a trip to get some more picture sheets since all of them are now done! It definitely brought back some memories for Matt and I playing lite brite when we were kids. Jackson had a great birthday. Thanks to all who celebrated with us!
