Chuck E. Cheese...Where A Kid Can Be A Kid

I'm all for pizza, arcade games, and a talking mouse to entertain me for a few hours.  Having said that, I was so ecstatic when one of my good friends, Jessica invited Eden and I to her daughter's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. We got to celebrate Kaylani's 2nd birthday today! Kaylani and Eden had a blast dancing to the music, watching the light show, and meeting the famous mouse himself. Chuck E. Cheese was a bit intimidating to Eden but for some reason, she had her eyes glued on him at all times. It was hilarious when I nudged her to give him a high five, Eden blankly just stared at him. All the kids had fun running around like crazy and being able to let loose. This was Eden's first birthday party she attended this year and she had a great time.

I absolutely love the Minnie Mouse theme Jessica did for her daughter. It was so cute and I could tell she put a lot of thought into it. From the customized birthday cake to the party decor, everything was just so adorable. She even had Kaylani in Minnie ears and dress! I just wanted to melt because Kaylani looked so cute! 

Eden enjoyed the jungle gym and rides at Chuck E. Cheese. Who knew a little steering wheel ride that moved back and forth for 10 seconds could bring a smile to her face? Eden was amazed and she was soaking it all up. She really likes the Barney and Bob the Builder ride. It was so cute to watch her put her tiny hands on the steering wheel pretending to drive. I made sure she went on the Chuck E. Cheese ride that took a picture of you at the end of the ride. When the photo developed, Eden wasn't looking at the camera and all you see is her eyes and hair. Eden played Skee Ball with me and made sure to tear the tickets when it dispensed. Then she ate it. I tried teaching her to roll the ball but she wasn't interested. She rather wait for the tickets to come out. By the end of the party, Eden was pretty exhausted. She had way too much fun for one day and it was enough to get her to fall asleep when we got home.
