Henry and Max celebrated their 4th birthday today. Aunt Ruth and Aunt Maryann came over and along with Tante Sabine we all went to Chucky Cheese's. The boys had been asking us to take them their for months. They didn't know that that's were we were going to take them today birthday, though and they were quite surprised when we pulled into the parking lot!
We ordered some pizza, sodas and bought a bunch of tokens. They couldn't wait to play the games and arcades. Even Alex wanted to get into the action. After almost 2 hours it was finally time to get out of there.
When we were back at the house Elizabeth brought out their special birthday cake. She had spent last night making a "Cars" inspired cake, along with Buzz and Woody cars. Henry and Max were quite impressed. After a piece of cake for everybody it was time to open their presents. They both finally received some of their Planet Hero toys (the ones Henry had found in the attic), Henry also got a car from Sophie, a Mickey plate from Aunt Maryann and some toys for the tub from Tante Sabine. Max got a new Harmonica from Sophie, also a Mickey plate and a new Baby Buff from Sabine. He had begged us for a baby brother for his doggy Buff for months now. He was quite happy that he finally got one.
Just a few minutes later Uncle Joseph called to tell us that Brandon was sending the boys his best wishes in typical 21st century style via their blog! Thanks Brandon!
PS: Alex also received a present, a little book about puppies.
happy birthday! sure looks like they had fun. love the cake.
