Ramsey's 9th Birthday Party

We now have a 9-year-old in the house!  Whaaaaaaaaaaa?!?!?  Next year, he'll be in the double digits. Yikes!

Ramsey wanted to have his birthday party at Allevity.  We invited quite a few kids (with their siblings and parents) and had the soiree a few days before his birthday.  Luckily, we didn't have another blizzard to deal with!

The theme was Roblox (Ramsey's favorite game/platform currently).  I found a cute custom cake topper on Etsy.  I made cupcakes and a layered cake, smashing some Roblox figures atop as decorations.

We ate pizza and visited for a while.   Then... time to sing the birthday song and have cake!

Randomly, the little boys, one by one, got up in front of everyone to "toast" Ramsey, give speeches, tell jokes, and sing songs they'd made up.  It was quite the spectacle and had us in stitches!  None of the girls got up... just the silly boys.

Then, Ramsey got to open up a ton of super cool presents.

He received lots of Nerf and Roblox gifts, Robux, an archery set, Super Goo, and more.  He was pretty stoked!

And, we took pics of each of the kiddos with the gifts they gave Ramsey (so we could remember afterwards, when it was time to send thank-you cards!).  Unfortunately, we missed one pic of Ramsey with one of his buddies... bummer.

I'm sure Ramsey didn't mean for this picture to look so funny.  Whoops!!

Then, it was a free-for-all for the kids in the play area.  They climbed the rock wall, zoomed around in bumper cars, played video games, air hockey, and there was a LOT of laser-tag gaming. 

While the kids played, some of us adults played as well.   And, the adults got to chat and have some laughs.  There were some parents that we didn't know very well, so it was great to get to know them.

It was certainly a terrific day.  Happy Birthday, Doodlebug!  You're an amazing little boy.
