birthday weekend begins

i guess the benefit of having a semi-solo birthday is that maddux gets multiple celebration days.  tonight we picked madelyn up a little early from school, picked grandma up from the airport and headed over to chuck e. cheese!

this is what maddux said he wanted to do for his birthday and there was no way matt was going to take him on the weekend (his birthday is on sunday).  matt met us there about a half hour after we arrived.


i taught madelyn how to hit the jackpot and he was pretty pleased.
grandma volunteered for manning duty - which is a full time job - so that matt and i could play games too.  manning had a lot of fun sliding for a long time.
we all played skew ball several times.  it seems like maddux is starting to get the hang of it and mason is better than i am.  although, maddux is throwing the ball overhand in the first picture!

grandma didn't want to take a picture because she had come straight from the airport, but here she is with manning (he was starting to fade).
chuck e. cheese dance party!

i got a picture with the birthday boy courtesy of madelyn 
daddy and the big three trying to 'crunch' our 1,000 tickets.  it is a little stressful as they all three try to jam them in at the same time!
grandma finding ways to keep manning entertained while we wait.
 and then comes the shopping...  it takes FOREVER for them to pick their cheap-y little prizes.

grandma took this "selfie" of manning saying, "hi, big pop".  how cute is that?
it was a fantastic birthday party and the planning was a snap!  love.
