Gabriel Celebrates at Chuck E. Cheese

Gabriel had his birthday party Friday night at Chuck E. Cheese. He was SO excited for his birthday party! He chose a Pokemon theme for his party this year.
Nora was missing her mommy a little while Alicia was playing games with the boys, and she was fussing a little. Ya know what always makes me feel better when I'm fussy? Something sweet to eat. I was just sure it would make Nora feel better too. A little taste of birthday cake icing . . . .
Yes, that may look like a frown. Let me tell ya, every time my finger got close to her mouth, she was WIDE OPEN for more! She loved it!
After some time for games the kids sat down to eat some pizza. Here are Sam, Jake, Riley, and Grace waiting for their pizza.
After pizza the kids played more games. Robbie and Gabriel challenged each other at Air Hockey while Abby watched.
Grandma likes to play Skee Ball.
Grace posed for a picture with Chuck.
Before we did cake, Gabriel had his turn in the Ticket Blaster. I know this picture is super-blurry because of all of the tickets flying around, but you can still see his giant grin.

The kids were shouting, "Happy Birthday" while we prepared to cut the cake.
Jake thought Gabriel needed a little bit of help blowing out his candles. Ha!
Party-goers cheesed with Chuck . . . Landon, Jake, Sam, Gabriel, and Abby.
The big kids played games too. I don't know what this game was, but Daniel and Dan were into it!
After cake Gabriel opened his gifts. . . Legos, cars, Beyblades, Pokemon . . . He was a happy boy!
The dads were deep in conversation . . . Jeremy and Billy.
Uncle Brian and Aunt Erin gave Gabriel this Lego sorter.
Before the party broke up, there was more time for games. Daniel and Jake shot some hoops.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with Gabriel! He had a blast! Thank you for his gifts and for your company.
