Carson's Birthday party at Chucks!

Yes, that's right. Lauren attended her first birthday party. It was for mommy's friend Erin's son Carson who turned 2 on Dec. 29th. But with the holidays they postponed the party for today at Chuck E Cheeses in Salem. Boy, was that place a zoo. But Lauren thought it was fun!

On arrival mommy was thinking "what did I get myself into!"
Lauren was thinking "what kind of place did mommy bring me too!"

And then the mechanical Chuck E Cheese started dancing and singing: "oooooooohhhhhh!"

Lauren dancing in front of all the tables by the mechanical Chuck E Cheese. It would stop and she would YELL at him. She didn't understand that it was on a timer! She also made a couple of little friends. One she hugged and the little girl just stood their stiff. Another little boy chased her around for awhile until he realized that Lauren was not ready for a boyfriend! And a bigger kid picked her up and moved her out of the way, in which Lauren walked back over to her and cleared her out of the way. Great!

The man himself.....or at least she thought so!

Seeing herself on tv....boy is that chick funny! This is where she had the run in with the bigger kid!

Don't worry puppy, I'll drive us to safety!

The birthday boy! Mr. Carson Michael Frenzel with his favorite purple dinosaur! He is now the BIG 2!

"Ok, Fred the Vet, where are we going and why am I not driving!"

Lauren and the birthday boy....eating and drinking everything but their pizza.

OMG! It's another Chuck E Cheese. That guy is sooo funny! She was the youngest party goer and the only one not afraid of the Chuckster himself.

Clapping after Chucky's performance.

Wait, Chuck's over there with Carson! Lucky kid!

The birthday boy trying to eat the frosting. C'mon Carson and just blow out the candle already!

Cupcake time! Who needs to eat pizza when you get an entire cupcake.

What a mess!

Overall it was a great party. A little too much stimulation though for the 15 month old. She slept the entire hour home. Poor thing. Partied out! And we even left a bit early!
