Gwyneth really, really, really wanted her birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Now, her daddy and I tried to be the voice of reason explaining to her that she has been – to put it delicately – horrifically terrified of the big mouse on our prior visits AND the pizza is gut-wrenching awful (that last bit we kept to ourselves).
Our girl could not be deterred. Chuck E Cheese was were she wanted to celebrate. Now, Gwyneth is our baby. Yes, she will be three tomorrow, but nonetheless she is our baby girl — always will be. Along with that comes a bit of spoiling. Probably an understatement to say that we give her whatever she wants and she easily has us wrapped around her little finger. I don’t fancy myself a pushover, but Miss Gwyneth has a way of flashing those big green eyes at me, giving me her big pouty lip and I melt. I only hope she will continue use this amazing power she has for good rather than evil!
So, Chuck E Cheese party on! Gwyneth celebrated with lots of friends and only had a minor meltdown when the mouse made his appearance. She ate lots of pizza, licked the icing off a big Lightning McQueen cupcake and played many games. She was a very happy birthday girl. Especially after we shooed away that pesky mouse.
Personalized gift backpacks for all Gwyneth’s buddies.

She takes the horse ride very seriously.
My girls love Lauren and she is always such a good sport with them.
We tried to warn her about the mouse. Atleast she got this cool crown out of his visit…uh….
Annabelle, Bella, and Reagan getting their dance on.
Not at all the look of happiness. That’s the look of a little girl who does not like Chuck E Cheese, but begged for a Chuck E Cheese party. (this only lasted briefly — the mouse knew where he wasn’t wanted).
And all is right again.
