Celebrating, Rosie Style.

There are a few things in this world that I do not care for, one is that horrendous place that the kids love called Chuck*E*Cheese and another is that truly annoying children's show called D0ra the (freaking annoying) Explorer. As luck would have it Rosie lurves both of these little nerve graters and when asked what she wanted for her birthday she announced, a party at Chucky's and Dora on her cake. Yuck! We were not actually planning on giving the child a party, she's is only 3 for heavens sake, surely a few friends over to the house, a cake and some rambunctious fun would have sufficed but noooo not with this kid. Her friend Trevi just had a party at the mouse house and she remembered and decided she wanted one too. So we sucked it up invited her friends and our chosen family and headed off for a few hours of chaos. Seeing her happy little face and her friends having so much fun really did make it worthwhile.

Afterwards we came back here with Hollis's family and they played for a bit longer. As is the norm with Rosie the whole gift routine went right over her head and after opening one she left the room and headed for the comfort of her old familiar toys. We did end up opening them all and she was really excited with her new bounty and most disgruntled when she had to say good bye to them for the day.

Today marks the end of what seems to have been a week of birthday celebrations for her and she really loved the attention which if you know Rosie, this is a milestone.

Thank you to everyone for all the good wishes, cards and gifts, we saved everything for today in hopes of not making her believe that her birthday really does last for a week!

You are one awesome mum! We also hate Chuck E Cheese & thank G-d Erin does also. As for Dora, Erin's never seen it. I'm not starting now that's for sure.

The pics are wonderful as always, but then again, you know I'm a fan of your girls. :-)

Oh, how cute the girls are and what a fun week for Rosie! Gosh, you must think I am WAY out of my mind for wanting to throw a big bash for Ruby! I can hardly contain my excitement! Been waiting 3 years for this...at least! Ruby is into Dora now, too. We don't mind it too much (yet) but the Wonder Pets is really getting old. :-) Haven't been to Chucky Cheese yet. Ruby's not a fan of pizza. Anyway, you do what you gotta do to keep the little ones smiling and it sounds like you had a real good smiling week with Rosie!

It was just a WONDERFUL time celebrating with you all as Rosie turns 3. She is such a young lady and we love ALL of you so much!

It looks like your little one had a fantastic birthday party! Believe it or not... I've never been to C. Cheese as of yet. From what I've heard, it's not the most exciting place for the parents. Dora is a whole other story. That annoying show is on at my house way too often if you ask me.

So glad her day was filled with fun and happiness.

Dawn, you and I must be long lost sisters. We threw a Eriks a birthday party at Chucky's in Dec 2008. Never freakin' again! The staff were the most unfriendly people in the world and made us miserable.

Don't do Dora either. I guess what broke the camels back for us was a hilarious Saturday Night Live cartoon skit several years back where they did a spoof of Dora with the character's name being Maraka. See if you can find it on youtube. You will never look at Dora the same way!
