Carter turned 2 on Saturday December 5th. Susan had planned on the family getting together at Chucky Cheese's (the children's mecca of games, prizes, a large walking rodent, and cardboard pizza). Our plan was to meet at 4:30 before the place got too crazy. On our way there Carter was enjoying the mylar balloons that we got for him in the car.
We turned the corner to Chuck Cheese's and the first thing that that caught my eye was a line of about 10 people at the door.... not a good sign. Susan and I both let out a deep sigh when we saw that the line to get into the door actually snaked around to the side of the building. It was safe to say that it took about 15 seconds for Chucky Cheese's not to be an option for the party place. We saw Carter's cousin Jett inside in the mass of people waiting to get in and Susan jumped out to figure out another option. My sister, Jett, and my father were all inside in awe of the fact that Chucky Cheese was at capacity and it was at least an hour before we would even have been able to get in. My father was releived when we changed the location to a pizza place by our house. Jett jumped in the car with us to Carter's delight.
At the pizza place we had a great time. Carter and Jett went to town on the quarter machines and came out with all sorts of prizes and treats.
The pizza was great and everybody was happy. Carter and Sus had gone shopping for birthday supplies and Carter got to pick out what he wanted. He picked out a Micky Mouse cake, Cars napkins, and tractor paper for his presents. The cake was fantastic!
After cake Carter Jett and Grandpa had running races, climbed on the benches, laughed until they snorted, and generally had a blast. Carter's 2nd birthday was so much fun that he slept in until 8:00 the next morning. Now that is a sign of a happy 2 year old that had a big night.
