We celebrated the boys' 3rd birthday this year with a party at Chuckie Cheese. (In the photo above Carson looks much bigger than Micah but he isn't. I think he was just sitting closer to the end of his chair). They were super excited about playing basketball and seeing their friends. We invited their little friends from daycare to attend the party and most of them were able to come. Pam Pam even came and brought a couple of the children with her. The celebration began with lots of games. Micah and Carson always fight over the basketball shot game since it is their favorite.
Nana, Tracy, Uncle Dave, Elijah, and Matthew also came to the party. Corbyn and Elijah played the "big kid games" and went through tokens like they were burning holes in their hands. Micah and Carson love putting the tokens in the machines. You have to keep an eye on them though because they'll put several in without even playing the game.
Air hockey was another favorite among the children. The birthday cake was a Lightning McQueen cake and Micah was a sneaky little rascal. When he thought we weren't looking he would sneak red icing off of the cake. He didn't realize that the icing stained his mouth. The look on his face as he was eating it was hilarious. He made a face as if the icing was divine.
The kids ate pizza and then got ready for the birthday parade. All the children participated except the birthday boys. Nana carried Carson at the caboose of the parade but Micah waited and watched at the edge with me. He was afraid that Chuckie would come out and get him. Nana and Carson spotted Chuckie right away.
Micah avoided Chuckie during the parade but Chuckie snuck up on him as he was eating birthday cake. Micah gave him a high-five but Carson took off running in the other direction in a full-on panic. The boys weren't very interested in opening their gifts because they were so eager to play games. They eventually opened a few and loved all their new things. Aunt Tracy got them new Batman pajamas. They even have cool capes on the back.
Thank you to everyone who was able to attend. We also appreciate all of the cards and gifts that were mailed to the boys. Thanks for being a part of the boys' birthday celebration!
