The Annual Birthday Party

Seth's birthday is coming up on Friday! For the 4th year in a row, we planned a combined celebration with Seth's buddy, Andrew. Alison (Andrew's mom) had the idea to do something smaller this year so we opted for a sleepover at their house with each boy inviting one friend. Everyone started out at Andrew's house with pizza and brownie cake, then headed to a fun little sports place where the kids did mini-bowling and arcade games. When we returned back to Andrew's at 9:15 PM we put on the movie UP and assumed that the group of 6 year old boys (whose bed times are usually around 7:30PM) would fall asleep watching the flick. Silly us! When the movie finished at 11 all boys were still awake - though, thankfully, sleepy.

After the big sleepover, and without any tears for mom's in the middle of the night, the kids had pancakes and waffles for breakfast and got to play and watch Saturday morning cartoons. All in all, it was an awesome birthday party! (Except for the part where Jen forgot the camera.)

So now you get to use your imagination. Here is a shot of the boys blowing out birthday candles.
And, here is a great picture of the gang playing mini-bowling. Oh, and this last one is my favorite! This is all the boys running around the living room and yelling to one another while their friend, Charlie, is still fast asleep on the floor - a boy after my own heart!

Now, if you are tired of using your imagination, you can check out the post Alison did on the party. At least one of us remembered the camera!

Happy birthday, Andrew and Seth!!!!!
