Girls Birthday...SUCCESS!

Since both my girls have birthdays so close together I decided to throw them a joint birthday party, although Abrial isn't a big fan of birthday parties it was more for Madyssen but Abrial did have a good time as well.  Mommy and stepdad Richard booked Chuck E Cheese for a big blow out party and they could not have been happier.  We invited their friends and cousins and we were definitely surrounded by kids.  Our guide at Chuck E Cheese was absolutely awesome.  We explained to her that Abrial has autism and she was very understanding and supportive.  She checked with us before we did anything.  All the kids had a screaming contest with all the other kids birthday parties and I sat with Abrial and made sure she was ok.  She just put her hands over her ears and was a real trooper.  And by the way we won that screaming contest. LOL.  Because we won the contest all the kids got extra 20 tokens to play games on top of the 20 they already got.  I was proud of our little group of screamers.  We only had one upset moment from Abrial and it was because she was scared we were going to use candles on the cake.  Luckily once she realized no candles she was good again.  They got the cake they wanted and Chuck E Cheese came over to meet them and even fed cake to Madyssen and got it on her nose.  She thought that was hilarious.  They got a ton of gifts including two lalaloopsy dolls from mommy and stepdad Richard that they have been wanting. :-)  The kids ran off then and played their hearts out.  I started walking off with Abrial because I was a little worried about her going off on her own but she just started putting in tokens and doing everything herself.  She was my little independent girl, I was so proud.  I went back to put up the toys but our guide put everything together for us.  She was definitely awesome.  By the time I went back to get the girls I found Madyssen playing basketball and Abrial was actually playing ski ball with another little kid!  It was awesome!! I am definitely one happy mama!  Now we need to come up with a way to top this one next year. lol.  And next year they will both be two digits!  This year Abrial turned 10 and Madyssen turned 9, I can't imagine them next year!  Time sure does fly!
