Alisa turned 4 this year on Feb. 3rd, only two
days before little Acelynn was due.
Luckily, she made her appearance early and Lise got her special day to
herself. I knew that whether I was 9
months pregnant or had a newborn, I would not be up for home-making a party but
I didn’t want her to feel gypped in the party department. This was, therefore, the first time we
ventured into the land of... Chuck E Cheese!
Not my first choice, but she loved it, and definitely less work for
mom. It was exactly one week after Ace
was born, and I was fine until the very end, when my back was really hurting.
We started the day with birthday cake pancakes with the
whole family. The birthday girl decided to head to McD’s for lunch (after the
doc for baby) where we spent quite a long time letting them play. We then let
her pick out a toy at Toys R Us (we do this with all of our kids – they get a
coupon on their birthdays, plus money from Grandma Doris – they love it.) Then it was on to Chuck E Cheese. Grandma Chris helped immensely by making the
cupcakes, we bought a balloon and some pizza and procured some tickets and
tokens for the kids in attendance – easy peasy! They enjoyed it, although Alisa
was a little bit (and Carson was immensely) afraid of the Chuck E Cheese in costume. Many of Lisie’s older cousins won lots of
tickets and gave them all to her. She
picked out a giant lollipop for her prize, she’d had here eye on it since we
got there.
