Chuck E Cheese, Recital and Expo

It took a while, over a month actually, but Pheenie finally got to have her Chuck E Cheese party. Thank you Grandma for making the cake it was beautiful and delicious.




 



Sam is not amused...




But Grandpa can get him smiling...



Where's the party?

Mama teaching Sam how to be a pinball wizard.

One of the highlights of her night.

She also loves this part of Chuck E Cheese

Gimme that!

Spouse abuse

Grandpa and Jeff shooting hoops

Aunt Sara being a back seat driver, just kidding Aunt Sara

This football game was the game to beat. Goo Bobby got the high score so then all the men had to try to beat him. No one did and his score was left to taunt any other guy who came in after we left.

Aunt Sara and Sammy playing some fire fighter game.

Gifts from Great Grandma, Aunt Susan and Thomas. As you can see she loves them.

Hey cousin, how about you share some of that pizza?



giggling with Grandpa (I love this picture by the way)



picking out prizes

Grandma and Grandpa's gift had to be opened at their house and we didn't know why, but it seems that a live creature is in that box....

what could it be, oh look how cute she is in that hat.....

can you tell yet? They started out in that little box but it just wasn't big enough for them according to the information we found online.

so we upgraded to the big tank and now they are really happy. Do you see them?

As you can see she loves Aurora and Zahid. They are two very tiny (Pheenie loves anything in miniature) African Dwarf Frogs and if you blow up the picture above this one, you can see Aurora in front of the plant.

It is that time of year again, recital time. This year Seraphina's class danced to Octopus's Garden by the Beatles. She also was the lead ballerina in the dance a very prestigious spot from what I am told and one she had to work very hard to get.  

Waiting to go on stage, yes she is wearing a lot of makeup but trust me that's not normally allowed.

moving into position (the lady in the blue is Miss Kacey her teacher)

I love how her hair looks here

It's hard to tell here but if you look at Miss Kacey you will see that Seraphina is perfectly in line with her. 

My favorite part, the frog kicks, this picture really doesn't show how cute this is.



flowers from mama, you can also see all the colors in her hair here



This is her class. Miss Kacey, Seraphina, Jamiyah, Hannah, Sara, Katherine, Savannah and kicking out her leg Emma. Sara moved away last week and Kat will be leaving in January which is such a heart break for Pheenie. She has been her closest friend for years and now she is leaving.

These are tough to see because Sam is in motion. He is using his Bo staff here and the pictures really don't show how good he is.

Certificates of completion from this years programs. I missed the pictures of Seraphina's gymnastics routine.
