Italian Mafia vs. Big Giant Mouse

Chuck E Cheese is a great place to have a birthday party :) Xavier, one of my best friend's son, turned 5 today. Ryan and I took our girls and Jordan to his party and they had a great time playing games, eating pizza and playing with their party gadgets. Lee was very creative with the Mario theme and even made hats for all of us to wear. Of course, I wore the Toadstool Princess tiara instead :) Everyone wore fake mustaches to support the theme. The cake was decorated perfectly - my pictures do it no justice! Lee's sister Cary and her family came in from Tennessee and Rana, Ethan and Callum came. Callum had his first taste of cake and loved it! Lily and Lacey opened their gifts from Lee and Xavier at the end of the party and when we got home we made necklaces and bracelets with the bead set they got. Xavier and Jordan got into the birthday ticket blower to catch as many tickets as they could and it was pretty comical. Jordan's safety goggles were on upside down and when he caught just one ticket, he held on to it tight and just stood there. Xavier tried his hardest, and together they gathered 10 tickets.
