Sunday Snapshot: {Dalton turns 9}

Admittedly, this was supposed to be last Sunday’s Snapshot.

But better late than never, right?

Last Saturday was Dalton’s big day.

And to celebrate we took the crew over to the Shipyard.

First stop? The Rec Center.

Where they have free all-you-can-stand popcorn.

And a flat screen TV. With an X-Box.

By this point, this place already had some big fans.

We brought in some goodies as well.

So really, there was something to put a smile on everyone’s face. A few times over.

And of course, there was some cake.

This year, Dalton chose chocolate chip bundt cake.

Which went over pretty well with Asher.

And Vivienne.

And pretty much everyone.

After cake we played a bit of pool.

And then moved on to the main event.

Despicable Me.

In a private showing.

We loved every minute of it.

Then the kids got a chance to burn off a bit of the sugar we’d consumed.

And explore a grounded submarine.

Like ants on an anthill.

They were all over it.

Happily, our efforts to celebrate Dalton’s big day made everyone happy.

From the bigs, to the littles.

It was a pretty great afternoon.

The perfect way to celebrate a pretty great kid.

Happy 9th Birthday, Dalton.

We sure do love you.

    What a fun celebration for Dalton. The perfect setting for the "all boy" boy type ๐Ÿ™‚

    Took me all day, literally, but finally got my SS up.

    I was a tad pre-occupied today. What with an overflowing toilet ruining my kitchen ceiling and all. UGH.

    Looks like a fabulous way to spend the day! Family Days are the best – just add a birthday (CAKE!) – and it's even better!!

    happy Birthday, Dalton!
