Birthday Bash

Friday, September 6th was Makayla's fifth birthday. We celebrated at the place of Makayla's choice--Chuck E. Cheese.

 

Makayla's birthday fans Brinlee and Hailey were there.

 

We didn't pay for a Chuck E. Cheese birthday, but when Chuck made an appearance at someone else's party, we rushed over for photos.

 

The pizza this year was actually eatable.

 

Oh look! The Butlers came for the party! Good thing we got a cake large enough to feed several armies.

 

Brinlee, making sure she gets a piece before it's all gone.

 

I don't want to think about how much frosting we ate. The kids seemed only interested in the frosting, not the cake.

 

There's enough food coloring to coat one's insides for months, maybe years.

 

We did some present opening--including the Ken(s) Makayla's Barbie has been wishing for.

 

Makayla really liked this drum contraption.

 

Look at the tickets Birthday Girl has been racking up.

 

Brinlee does everything on tiptoe.

I'm not exacting going to call it cheating, but after these three played this one person game, the machine refused to spit out tickets.

 

Cute little monkey.

 

Tiny girl vs. giant machine.

 

Choosing what to trade your tickets in for at the end is a looonnnngg process. So many items of trash treasure

 

We may be here until next birthday deciding.

 

Happy birthday, Makayla! We love you!
