Where A Kid Can Be A Kid

Our family was invited to go and see my cousin and her family for her son's 5th birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese - followed by hanging out with them at their new home and having dinner together. It was a LONG drive and a busy day but SOOOO much fun! The rest of both my cousin and I's family's live on the west coast so we try to get our family's here together as often as we can. Our girls are ALWAYS begging us to see them again! :) Here are some pictures of the kids on our drive:

And here is the birthday boy:

{The girls at the party table - and I swear they're both growing by the minute! They are looking so much older these days.}

{Mmm...her favorite...cheese pizza}

{Andrew's face lit up when he saw...}

{Chuck E!!!}

{And he had to watch him while he ate. He'd throw a bite into his mouth, turn around and continue to watch until he needed another bite of pizza and then go back to watching again. It was cute!}

{Cake time!}

{Game time!}

{Time with Daddy}

{Time to bowl!}

{Or at least stand there and look cute! :)}

{I stepped in to help her out}

What a fun day! "Thanks you guys! It was great, as always, seeing you and we look forward to our next get together! :)"
