Kaleb's (Big brother-to-be) 7th birthday party!

Kaleb, the big brother-to-be, turned 7 on May 4th. We celebrated his birthday on Saturday, May 2nd at Chuck E. Cheese’s after his T-ball game. We invited all his teammates and family. We had quite the turn out! We had such a good time!

When we were planning the party, we asked Kaleb what he wanted for his birthday. His response was very interesting. He said that his birthday list was a flat screen TV, Verizon Fios for his room, a remote control car, a Wii, a laptop and an Ipod! I got to thinking, Oh boy; my son is just like me!!! So we were in a frenzy trying to figure out what to get him, since everything on his “list” was pretty pricey. And he never failed to mention his “list” to anyone who asked him what he wanted for his birthday. I have to admit, I was expecting Kaleb’s list to have Lego’s, remote control car…. you know, the typical things a 7 year old would ask for! So I got thrown for a loop when he started to rattle off his list!

After his T-ball game, we had to go home to change clothes and to pick up the cake we had ordered, and then proceeded to Chuck E. Cheese. We weren’t there long before all the guests started showing up. They had a table prepared for us in the Birthday area, so we set up camp there. We got tokens for the kids so they could go and play before the entertainment began. After the kids played for a while, the pizzas came and they brought us drinks, so the kids sat down and ate. The grown-ups pizza came, too, so we were all able to sit down and eat. After we ate, Chuck E. Cheese came out and performed, and greeted and hung out with all the birthday stars and their guests. After the show, we had Kaleb open all his presents. He got a lot of cool stuff! He racked up on cash!!! Let’s see, he got a Hummer remote control car, a Dodge Ram remote control truck, a digital camera, an Ipod, some Lego kits, we got him a Wii with some accessories, and he also got Mario Kart for Wii! He was so happy! And we all are very thankful to everyone who gave him stuff.

We stayed there for a few more hours and let the kids all play together. We finally called it a day at around 3 pm. We h ad such a good time, and Kaleb had such a great birthday party. It really meant a lot to him that his friends and family were there. We have started to think of ideas for his birthday next year. Any ideas and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
