For Kemper's birthday this year, we had a Chuck E Cheese party...and it was by far the easiest and least stressful party we've ever thrown! Kemper has wanted to have a turn in the Ticket Blaster ever since he set foot in Chuck E Cheese for the first time around age 3. You used to be able to buy a turn in the blaster but they did away with that option and now the only way to try it out is to book a birthday party. Darn you Chuck E Cheese.

We booked a party for 8 kids and then all of their parents. When we arrived, they had everything all set up for us and tokens separated out for the kids. They were off and running and completely, 100% entertained and happy until the pizzas came out.

Once the pizzas came out, the kids were all called back to the table and it was time to eat. While they were finishing up, our individual party assistant came over and told us that Chuck E Cheese would be out in just a few minutes. The party theme at Chuck E Cheese is Rock Star. There was an entire "sketch" that went along with the mouse coming out to mingle.

After Chuck E Cheese visited our table, it was time for cake. Our party assistant cut the cake for us and then boxed it back up so we could take the leftovers home. It was pretty great to not have to worry about the little things and to just be able to enjoy his party!

Finally, it was time to wait for his turn in the Ticket Blaster! He was so excited and not nervous at all. They let him wear his birthday crown in which helped because there were quite a few tickets tucked in there when he came out. Our party assistant threw some vouchers in there for 100, 200 and 1000 tickets. When it was over, he kept shoveling tickets to Kemper and he ended up with well over 1500 tickets at the end of the day. He was so pleased with the blaster experience!

The friends Kemper invited this year were Gavin, Trenton, Alivia, Ava, Devon and Briley. Briley is his little friend from the bus that he has been begging to invite since earlier in the year. Luckily the invitation I sent along with him made it to Briley's mom who contacted me and was able to make it! Navigating the school friends has been an adjustment and I'm thankful for friends with older kids who have offered some guidance on that topic!

Kemper and I made the goodie bags to look like the different Ninja Turtles and we filled them with random little things that Kemper likes. Everyone got a little notepad and a small pack of markers because Kemper loves to draw and write notes. We also included some jelly beans (because Kemper loves sweets), Ninja Turtles temporary tattoos (because what 6 year old boy doesn't love those), some Ninja Turtles stickers (and some other stickers for the girls), and Ninja Turtle pencils.

Overall, he was super pleased with his party and everyone seemed to have a great time! I know it was certainly a plus not to have to clean the house, make all the food, and then clean up after everyone left! We simply rounded up the boys and left!
