Since I have a Summer birthday, growing up, I never had to go to school on my birthday. (Well until school began starting back way too early my Junior year in high school). I enjoyed never having to go to school on my birthday and I hope to do the same for Bryson. This year his birthday fell on Saturday, but I still wanted us all to take a day off to spend time as a family. So we all took the day before his birthday off to celebrate. The weather had been forcasting a cold rain for that day so instead of going to the zoo, we decided to take Bryson to Chuck E. Cheese instead of the zoo. I hate Chuck E. Cheese. There are way too many people, kids unattended, it's just madness. But since we were going on a school day, we were hoping it wouldn't be that bad, and it wasn't. Of course that day ended up being beautiful and we could have went to the zoo, but we decided to take him to the zoo on his actual birthday since we had already gotten him excited about Chuck E. Cheese. It was nice to be able to sleep in and not be rushed so we could celebrate Bryson just the 3 of us. He had a lot of fun. We enjoyed pizza and played games but it seemed to go by so quickly. He wanted to buy ice cream there but we convinced him that we could go to Top it Off for yogurt on the way the home. Bryson loves going to Top it Off. He loves getting birthday cake yogurt and gummy frogs in his yogurt. We had a little bit of time after yogurt to come home and rest before going out to dinner with my family. Bryson had some birthday cards in the mail and loved opening them, and of course getting money.
Ready to go to Chuck E. Cheese
He only wanted to grab 1 ticket at a time.
Checking to see how many tickets we got.
He's so silly showing off his gummy frogs.
Opening his mail.
He was so excited about the money from Granny Goose.
For dinner, we went to Papa Saia's with my family. I love the atmosphere there and Bryson loves the food. For his birthday, he wanted a Play-doh/Wreck it Ralph party. I had no idea how to incorporate Play-doh. My mom found some cupcakes at the grocery store that kind of looked like Play-doh, so she brought them to dinner. Bryson also thought they looked like Play-doh so he was happy.
We had a great day celebrating Bryson. In our family we really love to celebrate birthdays so we had another special day planned for the next day on his actual birthday.
