Big 5

Mason is 5 today!!!!! We have had some fun.Last night we braved ChuckECheese. The last time we braved one of these was in Virginia when Sarah was two (ok, we went to Leo's in Rochester, but it was kind of wimpy).
We went at 5pm & almost had the place to ourselves for the first little while. When we left at 7 Todd thought we'd been there for about 4 hours, it sure felt like it!
Mason & Emma enjoyed some of the rides. Mason tried a few of the games.
Sarah was all about the games & getting lots of tickets. She ended up with 345.
Our kids had such a great time at ChuckECheese. When we got home Mason said "ChuckECheese is so amazing!" Now they want to go again. Oh dear.
Mason's presents this morning. The kids all expect to open presents before school & preschool. Luckily Todd was home so he got to see the action.
Mason's big ticket items were a Buzz Lightyear, Bolt, & and Smart Cycle. He wanted one of these last Christmas, but I resisted. We got a Fisher Price catalog a while back & he saw the cycle again & just had to have it! He's been riding it whenever he can today.
Trying out a Spongebob game on the cycle.
Mason had a friend birthday party this afternoon. Eight 3-5 year old boys for one hour was quite an adventure! He had birthday cookies instead of a cake, fine with me! The dug for dinosaurs in shredded paper in the basement, quite a mess but lots of fun.

Happy, happy birthday Mason!
I can't believe he's five already. I thought I just barely went to visit you in the hospital the day you had him. Was that really five years ago?
Good luck keeping the kids away from Chuck-E-Cheese.

Can't believe he's only 5. Seems so much older---maybe because he's HUGE. Ummmm just looked at Shell's blog and that picture of Mitchell is too precious!! He's so pretty, he looks like a girl (and that is a compliment).

Hi Julie! Great pics and a Big Happy Birthday to Mason! We just took the boys to visit good ole Chuck for Jared's birthday. I also felt completely wasted by the time we were through. BTW, can you email or Facebook me your new address? We have a Christmas card waiting to send to you! Thanks!
