Turning 3 with The Cheese

This year we celebrated Reid's 3rd birthday with the rat! Chuck E Cheese, that is. It is his and Jake's all time favorite hang out!

Say "Cheese" Reidy!! ...get it, Chuck E "Cheese".

He was so excited that his big day had finally arrived!!

All week leading up to the party, Jake boasted of his skills at this driving game. Here he is showing Bon Bon and Pop Pop how it's done!

Davis Cummins all big and grown up!

Get used to seeing these two together. They were a matching set at the party.

Cousin Blake. This was his first outing to CEC. He hasn't been back since!


Miss Rosemary, Reid's best buddy from Covenant

They played every game together.

Miss Ellen, for once playing something other then the horse riding game.

Mrs. Tamah and Abbs

John Quitman..or as Reid calls him "Ja Kiffmon"

Big hug for Daddy!!

Holding steady for that perfect shot!

This really turned out to be such a sweet picture. Xan keeps it in his office.

I have said it plenty of times before--you can never have too many pictures of my cupcakes!!

Time to get the party started and time for Reid to get out of dodge!

What I failed to mention about Reid and Chuck E Cheese is that while Reid LOVES to hang out at CEC and play the games--he LOATHES the actual Chuck E. Just the sight of him makes Reid scream like a little girl!

You can't see this picture very well, but trust me....terror is in Reid's eyes!

We tried to calm him with the CEC crown....

....but the only thing that made him finally participate in his party was when Chuck E left the building!

Make a wish (I think he did and it came true when Chuck E left!!)

Ahhhh.....finally I can relax!

"It's great to be me!" says Reid. What a doll baby!

(Looks like someone snagged a gumball off that red cupcake!)

Sweet friends!!

The birthday boy tore into his blue cupcake!!

Tuckered out from a big day at The Cheese!!

All Reid's loot from his friends.

We had a very good time and I had a sinking feeling that it would not be the last Chuck E Cheese Vineyard birthday party of the year.
