Since we went to Disneyland over Spring Break, Mr. ESPN and I decided we would not be throwing a birthday party for the girls - that was their party. But somehow Chatty seemed to get a whole weekend of celebrating. I'm still trying to figure out how she accomplished that.
The festivities started on Saturday. Chatty requested ribs for dinner. So her lovely servants (aka Mom and Dad) got busy and grilled some ribs and made some cupcakes. It wouldn't have been a celebration if our favorite neighbors weren't there ...

After dinner Chatty requested to go to Dave and Buster's. If you don't know what Dave and Buster's is, think over sized arcade with a bar in the middle. It was loud and expensive (both the games and the adult beverages), but the kids seemed to have fun when they weren't fighting over who got to play what.

The next morning we headed to church with cupcakes in tow. Because what's Sunday school without cupcakes right? Afterwards we met Nana and Poppa at our favorite pizza place (yes this is a birthday tradition at our house) for lunch and birthday pizzookie.

So was it over yet? No - now time for her actual birthday ... Monday. Here she is bed head and all opening up a few small presents. She received an I-Pod Touch from Nana and Poppa, Grandma and Grandpa and Mr. ESPN and me (we gave it to her on Sunday at lunch with Nana and Poppa). She is obsessed with it! Kind of like Mr. ESPN and his I-Phone!

My little peep eating a peep!
Remember how I said in my last post I hadn't eaten sugar in the past week or so ... didn't even lick my fingers when I made the cupcakes or cake ... well I couldn't help it I had to have a small piece (and it was oh so good - moist yellow cake and homemade chocolate butter cream frosting)! Now I feel like I am starting all over! Good thing birthdays are done in our house for awhile, now if I can get my kids and Mr. ESPN to finish off all of the leftovers I will be good!
