Alisa's 4th!



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.
