It's Party Time {Again}!

When May rolls around it is time to celebrate the girls' birthdays. Having a joint party is kind of a stretch because their actual birthdays are nearly 2 months apart (beginning of April and end of May) but we make do by splitting the difference. We had such a fun time celebrating the boys' birthdays at Chuck E. Cheese in January that as the girls' turn came around, they also chose CEC as their party locale. This time, however, I went all out and booked an official 'party'... and we had a blast.

I just love these precious moments when my children have fun together:

Jacob couldn't quite roll the ball hard enough up the skee ball ramp, so I ended up playing for him. But he gave it a good try!

Will probably spent 10 tokens on this ride! It is definitely one of his favorites...

... and this would probably be his other top ride of choice:

I don't mind seeing Addie on a plastic motorcycle... as long as I don't see her on a real one anytime soon. Or ever. I'd be okay with that, too.

 Birthday fun with Chuck E!

So with an official party, the birthday honoree gets to go into the ticket blaster with one friend. I tried to get the girls to take both Jacob and Will, but Will wouldn't go inside, even after watching the first round of Bella and Jacob. So lucky for Jacob, he got to go in twice.

All the girls' friends kept roaring with laughter at Addie's dress flying up. Fortunately, the under layer of the dress was apparently heavier than the top layer. 

Poor Will looked very pathetic as he watched from the outside. Too bad he just wouldn't go in!

Although the party package ended up a bit pricey, it was worth the fun and convenience. I literally didn't do any prep work for this party short of booking it online and buying two numeral birthday candles. No cooking, baking, party favors, set up, or clean up. We showed up 10 minutes early and left 3 1/2 hours later with very happy children and a stress-free mommy. Especially with Jake missing, I couldn't have asked for an easier party venue!
