Jonah had his birthday party with his friends on Friday. I always stress about these parties because I worry about entertaining kids, especially rowdy boys! If I could guarantee good weather I would just let the boys play outside. I think they could do that for hours and be happy! Anyway, this year I had the idea to take the boys to a hockey game for Jonah's birthday. Ben used to work for the Grizzlies so he got us free tickets.
He also got them to wish Jonah happy birthday on the jumbo tron. I think Jonah was more excited about that than anything else. I was so grateful for Katie and Ben for arranging all of this for us.
I told Jonah he could invite four friends since that is how many kids we could fit in our van. He ended up inviting two boys from school and the two boys from next door. All of them were so excited and were going crazy in the car on the way to the game.
They all enjoyed the game. After listening to them in the car I was worried they would be crazy at the game, but they all sat down and loved watching it. We had really good seats.
Because we didn't have to pay for the tickets it was easy to justify buying treats for the boys while we were there. I told them they could all have some money and pick one thing or we would buy them all a soda and a few popcorns to share. They all voted for the soda and popcorn. Jonah loved every minute of it. He loves sports and he loves being with his friends so this night was perfect for him. It was great for me because I didn't have to stress about planning or hosting a party.
