In the morning, we took the kids to get a haircut. They both are pros now. Tommy wanted wacky hair like daddy's and Grace ended up eating a sucker (I didn't realize she knew what to do with them - ha).
So handsome
Smart little cookie
After that, we went to get the balloons and headed back to the house to meet my family and to make sure the kids had naps before Tommy's party.
Getting ready for the party
We got to Frisco Indoor Sports right on time. I wanted to be there early, but these people moving a house blocked the road and ruined that plan. I talked to the people up front as soon as we walked in and they were so dis-organized EVEN THOUGH I called up the day before to make sure everything would be ready.
The party was supposed to be from 3:00 to 5:00. They didn't even have the field the kids would be on ready until 3:15 AND then the hostess didn't even do anything - the kids just ran around kicking balls. I guess I expected a few organized activities for the kids. Tommy and his friends didn't care (or even notice) - they had a great time running around.

Grace held on to this ball the entire time - haha
Kylee went for one a little bigger

At 4:00, when we were supposed to go back to the party room, the girl came and told me that the pizza's hadn't arrived yet so we could play a few more minutes. Arrgh! Thank goodness we brought water (they were supposed to provide) for the kids to drink. At 4:15 the pizza's finally came, so we all headed back to the (hot) party room. The kids ate pizza's, but the juice boxes were still on the way (the person got stuck in traffic) - again - thank goodness for the water we brought.

After the kids finished with the pizza, the juice boxes finally came. We all sang "Happy Birthday" to Tommy and the little stinker blew out the candle before I could get a picture! The cupcakes were a hit and I could tell all the kids had fun, but it just upset me that my son's birthday party wasn't perfect.

"woody"
The good thing (I guess), is that the people told me that I didn't have to pay the balance on the party. At least they realized they weren't doing a good job.
Once all the kids got a gift bag (with Toy Story stickers, Toy Story fruit snacks and Play-Doh), we headed back to the house so Tommy could open up his gifts from our family.

Tommy fell and hit his head on the wall (early on in the party) - poor guy
Adam, Kimmy and my dad watching the girls
My mom and dad got him a scooter and a gun belt with guns (Tommy LOVES Back to the Future III). We got him a helmet, gas pump for his Little Tikes car, and a Little Tikes Bean Bag toss. Kimberly, Adam and Kylee got him some new Chuck Taylors.
Ready for some presents

My parents took us out to dinner at Tin Star before they left to head home.

The only family photo we took.
Tommy loved his soccer party - which I'm happy about - and he kept talking about how excited he was that all his friends came.
