On Saturday. we celebrated Ashton's 9th birthday at his favorite pizza/arcade, Pungo Pizza.  We celebrated with family and friends, pizza, games, presents and cake.

Ashton spent most of his time playing the Mortal Kombat game... which is the reason that Pungo Pizza if his favorite place.  The kids went through $70 in quarters in about an hour.  It was crazy.   But Ashton LOVED IT.

Ashton requested a big chocolate chip cookie cake, so I that is exactly what I made him.  Then I made icing in different shades of green, so that I could decorate the cake like his favorite thing right now - Minecraft.  He was so funny, he must have thanked me like thirty times for "taking so much time with his cake" - it was awesome that he loved it.

He got a lot of great gifts, gift cards to GameStop and Best Buy, PS3 Games, DVD's, Nerf stuff, etc., but the best was when my brother started recycling the gift bags and putting objects on the table in them.  Ashton got all excited about a gift and pulled out a napkin dispenser.  It was pretty funny seeing the look on his face.  He knew right away that it was his Uncle Billy that did it.

It was a great birthday party.  We all had a good time and I was happy to see my little (big) boo-boo head having a good time!  Happy 9th Birthday to Ashton!!!
