We did have a great time. Several of his friends came over and I had all the mom's stay for lunch and girl talk. It really turned out to be a beautiful fall day and the kids had a blast. I planned all these fun games but all they wanted to do was play with Brycen's train set and video games in the basement. So I gave Tom basement duty and I served the mom's up stairs. Opening gifts was a riot. He had one friend that wouldn't hand over his gift to Brycen, it was his toy. The others were just begging Brycen to open their gift next. He got all kinds of great toys. He totally made out, I have no clue why we spent another $100 buying gifts for him.
I made him chocolate cupcakes with red icing and stacked them all on a cupcake tower. It was supper cute and the kids just made a mess with it all, but all in good fun. After we got each kid cleaned up there was just enough time to pass out the goody bags and send them out the door. Two hours of eleven 4-year-old's running around your house is can almost send you over the edge. We did have a great time and I think Brycen really enjoyed him self too.
That night we celebrated with Grandma and Grandpa and went out to eat at T-Rex out at Legends. It was a lot of fun, but a lot of work. I this may have been our first time taking all the kids to a sit down restaurant, and may be our last for a while. The did love it though.
