The first party was a cocktail party for Katie, Mom and Dad and the grandparents.
Debi and I busted out the "special occasion" lazy susan and filled it with finger foods. We got pizza for the adults to tide them over for their drives home.
It took awhile for things to get going but getting the Grandmas to play Carnival Games for Wii. I think the idea of carnies appealed to the down home midwestern values. And boy, did that game have carnies.
Carnies.
The next day was the day I was dreading: visiting The Rat. aka Chuck E Cheese. They even had the gall to put it within walking distance of a Hooters. But no, no Hooters for me. They have tasty wings.
But we had a good time at Chuck E Cheese. It seems that the place is less popular on nice summer days so we effectively had the entire party area to ourselves. And the system is set up to make the birthday boy or girl feel special.
And Katie loves her bird book.
Happy Birthday, Sweetie.
