My daughter, Emma turned 6 this month.

Earlier in December we had a party with her and about 25 friends at one of those chain pizza places targeted at young kids.


I think of it like one of those credit card ads. Price per child: $7-$8. Not having 25 children running through my house: Priceless.
That helps keep my wife, Lisa, sane,

Emma seemed to enjoy it,




Of course if you want to see a distressed 6 year old, give her a container of firmly closed ice cream,

My brother, Scott, and his kids were able to make the party. Scott just returned from 6 months in Kuwait,

And a good time was had by all.
