Our Goddaughter Turns 2

Our Goddaughter (Alana) turned two years old on Friday, and it's hard to believe she's two already. We went to her birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese this afternoon. We haven't been to Chuck-E-Cheese's in years, and to be honest, it hasn't changed much. There's still the big rat (otherwise known as Chuck-E-Cheese), the mysterious moving creatures up on stage with those scary eyes that seem to follow you wherever you go, and the children running everywhere. The kids still compete to see who can turn the twenty dollars that their parents spent on tokens into the best five cent toy, and it's still pretty much a casino for children.

We really did have a blast playing with the kids though. The only exception was when a boy beat me at skeet ball, and I had to go back to the other kids crying. Aaron just laughed...1) because I had eaten way too much sugar and I was a little bit cranky and 2) because he was the boy that beat me at skeet ball.

Alana loves us both, but if you ask her who her favorite is out of the two of us, she'll always say Aaron. I thought it was so cute how she grabbed Aaron's chin as he went to lean in for a quick kiss.



And I promise I'll stop showing off other people's children after this...but look at those big brown eyes! She's such a cutie!
