A Birthday Party

A week ago on February 10th, we had a birthday party for Dylan at Chuck N' Cheese. Half of his 1st grader classmates joined the celebration. Many of them scattered everywhere in Chuck N' Cheese along with one of their parents. Oddly, either of their parents are deaf or knew signs came to the birthday party.

Our youngest guest was his cousin, Layla joined the celebration. She was so excited yet overwhelmed with all kinds of new indoor play sets. Dylan offered his assistant to go up in the playground. But she rather wanted to take her time to explore around Chuck N' Cheese. At the end, we discovered that she enjoyed the racing car with her mother's helping in pedaling the gas.

Before the kids had their birthday cake and present, they met Chuck, the mouse animator. This was the first time, Dylan decided to be brave with the animator. We were stunned yet felt that it was about time he took his courage. He followed Chuck around the party room until we, the family, had our picture taken.

Finally, the kids had their treat: a birthday cake. Dylan especially enjoyed hearing the birthday songs. He was so proud to have his classmates, including his family celebrated his 7th birthday. I guess number 7 is a lucky number.

Guess what he got mostly for his birthday gifts? If you guess it was books, you got it correct. First of all, he was pleased with his gifts from all of his friends and family who gave it to him. Not only getting books, he did received gift certificates so he could get whatever he wanted! The next thing he has in his mind besides books is collecting more Cars and Hot Wheels. I guess it is a REAL BOY thing!

Before the party was over at Chuck N Cheese, Dylan wanted us to take pictures of his "girl" friends for his scrapbook. How could I refuse to say "No" on his birthday?
