yesterday my mother in law linda came over with kendra's brother Ian and we had the official birthday party for Addy (Ava let us know that the birthday could not be official without presents and cake) Linda came over with the usual over the top amount of gifts, many of which were outfits for Ava which can then be passed down to Addy. Of course there was also the endless supply of toy and doll gifts. it doesn't matter that our entire basement is filled with them, they had to fight tooth and nail over the 2 dollar etch-a-sketch and cry uncontrollably when the other had it.
we then attempted to go to Chucky Cheese (still known as showbiz to my generation) but apparently much has changed since my showbiz days. It uses to be you just showed up and got a little stamp on your hand and you were good. Now the line was out the door (and i mean that quite literally) to "register" your child. I didn't know they needed hair and dna samples to let you into an establishment. I guess its in case they need to issue an amber alert if you lose your kid among the other 22,000 that were there passing on their germs. Against my Mother in laws wishes, i made an executive decision that there was no way we were staying there. It was WAY too packed and my girls are too little to even enjoy it. There isn't enough hand sanitizer in the western world for me to allow my girls into that big bin of plastic balls.(i admit i am a bit of a germ freek, just ask the students who went to south africa with me) After promising Ava we would come back on a less busy weekday, we were off to the mall to eat pizza and ride the carousel. We then proceeded to return home and gorge on cake and ice cream.
A good time was had by all and i'll see you at chucky cheeses never.

I was just wondering whether or not you got the chance to have that party. Sounds like it went pretty good! And I'll let you know that you are probably a better dad for not letting the girls get lost and drown in the germs of the ball bin...thing..lol oh and I'll testify to that sanitizer comment...
we did have the party!!! (just not at chucky cheeses)
ps. thanks again for the bottle of hs you got me, I think of you every time I fend of germs:)
