Party People

The party action continued this weekend with 3 more parties! I went to a facial party Friday night (forgot the camera), Tess went to her first birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese, and we went to our our ward Pioneer Day party.

The Chuck E. Cheese party was for Tess' Nursery friend, Julia (different than Spray Park Julia), who turned 2 years old. The party was on Saturday, and Chuck E. Cheese was nothing short of mass chaos. It was loud, wild and packed--and Tess absolutely loved it!



She was mesmerized by the creepy, singing animatronic puppets (which always terrified me as a kid--actually they still kind of creep me out). She was singing, clapping and dancing along with them.



She also thought Julia's birthday crown was pretty great. She somehow commandeered it and spent much of the time walking around pretending to be the birthday girl.


Umm, Tess...it's not about you.

So Chuck E. was a big hit. After loading up on pizza and birthday cake, we headed over to the ward Pioneer Day party. The church recently bought the vacant lot next to our ward building--it's rumored that they may turn it into either a parking lot or picnic pavilion. Anyway, we used it for a cookout and lots of Pioneer-themed activities.

Who has the heart to tell him he's supposed to be rolling the hoop?



Tess was pretty good at this game.

Fun times with fun friends!

I'm impressed by Ry's skills! That Tess is the cutest ever. I am SO doing a scrapbook page of her with her lollipop. It's too irresistible!!!

It's about time Tessie had her first trip to Yuck E Cheese. ha ha. Yes, the characters are a big creepy. Did she like the pizza? Brooke lives for it and the cotton candy.
