This year instead of gift for the grandkids, Trents parents bought gift cards to the movies and Chuck E. Cheeses. The kids had so much fun. I told his parents that they should do that every year. Good memories, and it gets the kids out of the house over the holidays. Have any of you been to Chuck E. Cheeses? Man...that place is always so chaotic, especially the day after Christmas. Nathan really enjoys that place. Let's just say that it is not my most favorite place. All the flashing lights, loud music/sounds, lots of screaming children running around with tickets and tokens or begging my kid for some of his tokens, cardboard tasting pizza, and did I mention all the noise? Heck...if I wanted flashing lights and loud noises I would go to a disco joint. I usually just choke down the lack of enthusiasm and enjoy the "moment". This time, however, I had an 18 month old that did not quite enjoy it. For 2- 1/2 hours...yes that is correct...2 and one half hours, I walked behind Jonathan as he was not digging the whole Chuck E Cheese Chaos. Here he is on a "ride". This shows his attitude about it all:He did not crack a smile the whole night, and most of it I spent carrying him around as he was clinging to me and whining. Guess he shared my sentiments. Home is a much better place to be. The older cousins loved it so that is all that matters right?

Wait...Is that a smile I see? He broke out the smile 10 minutes before we were leaving. *sigh*Bustin their moves with Chuck E. Nathan is in the black jacket, of course. He is so shy. :)
