This year was the first year Daniel got to have a birthday party with friends that was not at home so he got to choose where to go. He is a marketing department's dream because when he saw commercials about having your birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, that is where he wanted to go.
He also got to pick what the cake would look like. He is really into anything with wheels. Last year his cake was a firetruck. This year he wanted a green (his favorite color) garbage truck. After two days of work and countless attempts to eat it early (by Daniel)....
here is the finished product.
Then, Saturday morning, we loaded up the family and drove over to Chuck E. Cheese for a morning of complete chaos.
Here he is with his birthday crown they gave him. Right when we got there he wanted to start playing games and running around.
Then, when his friends got there (we invited kids from preschool and friends of mom and dad's with kids the same age), all he wanted to do was eat his cake. He even skipped pizza to sit and look at his cake.
He also got a turn in their ticket blaster. I tried to explain it to him on the way over but I don't think he fully understood. When it was his turn, he just stood in the booth and looked around. It was pretty cute. He waited for it to stop blowing before he picked up the 1000 ticket. Not quite the "legal" way to do it.
I think he had a pretty fun time and got a lot of "swag".
Daniel even got in on the fun.
I think both boys had a good time.
We ended the day at Outback because when asked what he wanted for dinner, the birthday boy replied "Soup". Only my son.
He was pretty excited when they brought out ice cream and sang to him though.
It was a good day. I can't believe he is 4 already!
