Jon's Birthday Party

Jon decided he wanted to have his birthday party while his cousins and grandparents were here.

So, Friday the 27th when everyone had arrived we headed to Action Zone Park. 

Jon had invited some friends but none of them came. We have come to realize that having a Birthday in December (or having your party over the break) means really spotty attendance. I did have one mom call me after the break and say that her daughter had just pulled the invitation out of her backpack. Oh well, he did not know or care.

The party came with pizza and drinks as well as arcade points and a go cart ride for 16 kids.  Since we did not end up with that many kids, each of the kids had extra arcade games to play and extra rides on the go carts which made everyone happy! The go cart attendants were really nice and even let a few rides happen for free! 

 Arabella loved riding in the little carts and driving herself but she loved even more when she rode with Grandma Rabner in the big cars.

 

 Jon really wanted to have cheesecake for his treat and so we found these great mini cheesecakes but I told him we needed cupcakes in case someone did not like cheesecake. He chose red velvet cupcakes!

 The indoor little grocery store type car was the only one Lily was able to ride on but she did not mind. 

Yes, these pictures are incredibly blurry but they were moving really fast! The first two are of Peter racing his parents. He just could not get past his mom! So fun to watch! The last one is of Jana and one of her boys- I can't remember which now and the picture is too blurry to tell. Her boys loved riding on the big go carts as well! It was a great time for everyone! Jon just loved having a party all about him and did not say anything about nobody else coming because he really had wanted his cousins to be there and they were. 

Happy Birthday Jon! We love you!
