Benjamin's 2nd birthday - Chuck E Cheese style

On Benjamin's actual birthday March 14th, we took a road trip down to San Diego and had a birthday dinner at the Mad Greek Gyros restaurant in Baker, Ca (right below Vegas).
But, on March 15th we had Ben's real birthday celebration at Chuck E Cheese's in San Diego. Grandpa Tom and Grandma Reva got Benjamin a special Elmo cake, and spoiled him rotten. We missed Grandpa Tom as he had to work that night, but we still appreciated the spoiling!

Guests at Benjamin's party were: Mommy, Grandma Reva, Great Grandma Sue, Aunt Bonnie, Cousin Katlyn, (Uncle Billy was feeling under the weather) Faye(Grandma Sue's friend), Uncle Daniel, Uncle TJ and his girlfriend Jessica, Adam, Sarah, Ava, and Austin Bresee, Jeremy, Jeanette, and Brianna Cross. WE MISSED YOU DADDY! We took lots of pictures and video camera footage!
Ben's 1st birthday he ate his cake with a fork, one bite at a time. This birthday was the exact opposite. He went to town on this cake, one handful at a time!
Brianna looking a little scared of the jeep ride and Ava looking like a pro at the wheel.
Benjamin showing Brianna how the ride works. Such a little gentlemen with his arm behind her. :) Happy Boy
Jeremy the real firefighter playing the firefighter game.
Uncle TJ and his girlfriend played games that would get Benjamin tickets for a toy. Between the ticket winners; Uncle Daniel, Uncle TJ, Jessica, Jeremy, Jeanette, Sarah, and Adam - Ben was able to get a Chuck E Cheese soccer ball, Brianna got a special toy, and I got Chuck E Cheese scrapbook book paper! Thank you everyone for being so generous with your tickets!!!!

Grandma Sue and Faye watching all of the kids having fun!

Benjamin and Brianna riding the jeep together. This picture is when Ben is about to jump out as the jeep moves to a higher tilt.

Mommy and Grandma Reva helping Ben blow out the candles. There was one big candle (that sang Happy Birthday) and one small candle that can not be seen in the picture.

Benjamin has never watched the Barney TV show. So, I was surprised that he wanted to ride the Barney ride the ENTIRE night! Here is a picture of myself with Ben trying to pose for a picture. However he was too interested in the ride. In the background is Brianna(Jeremy and Jeanette's daughter) going down the slide. When he wasn't on the Barney ride. He was playing with Brianna (who is two weeks younger than Ben).

In the end Benjamin had yummy pizza and cake, and a fabulous time playing with friends, family, and exciting rides and toys.
