Ted's party
















Bob and I decided we'd only have a party out somewhere for the boys every other year. Ted and Harry had their parties at Chuck E. Cheese last year so this year they each get a small party at home. Ted had 4 friends over for a party: Ben, Dan, Caden, and Alyssa. We really lucked out this year and had warmer weather than normal. We had a scavenger hunt where the kids got a picture to put together and then found that spot. They got goody bags and filled them along the way. It was nice to see all of them working together and participating. The last thing was marshmallow shooters to put together. Once they were together, we went back outside to shoot marshmallows. The kids all liked them. We had a target to shoot at instead of each other but there were still a few marshmallows aimed at other people. After that, we went back inside for cake and a snack and then Ted opened presents. Ben and Dan had to leave then so the other kids all played more in the basement. We ordered pizza and that was a little late arriving so the party lasted longer than we originally planned. The kids were having fun, though, so it worked out fine. The kids also played the Wii for a bit.
