Pre-Party Celebrations

The night before Ryan's birthday we took him to Chuck E. Cheese for family night. It was a great celebration for all...well, with the exception of Lydia, who had a panic attack as soon as Chuck E. showed up.

This was how Lydia looked the entire time we were there, even after we went to the back closet and showed her the Costume that Chuck E. Cheese wears. "See Lydia, it is just a costume!" It was no use, as soon as he came out to greet the kids she went ballistic and Mike had to take her home.





Ryan was "over the moon" excited to hang with Chuck E!




The next morning it was Ryan's actual birthday. It just so happened that Ryan's kindergarten class had planned a field trip to the Zoo that morning. Lydia and I tagged along to help Ryan feel extra special on his special day.




All of the kids rode the bus back to the school, but I got permission to keep Ryan with Lydia and I at the Zoo. We had a nice lunch and then Ryan got to pick a special prize from the gift shop...a little stuffed Meerkat.



I couldn't resist taking this pic of them with the beautiful blooming Irises.
