Happy Joe's

Tonight we went to Happy Joe's and brought along Emma, Josie, and Karley. Since we don't have a vehicle with a 3rd row, Tim & I each had to drive! :)

The 5 kids stood here for about 10 minutes watching the pizza be made.

We wanted to do something fun for dinner since it was Brielle's birthday, but Tim & I were undecided for awhile if we would recognize her birthday "Happy-Joe's-Style" where they sing & honk their horn. Brielle has SEEN other birthdays celebrated there, and she didn't want to have it done for her. She said the horn would be too loud. Emma tried to encourage her... and so did we... and we even tried the part about getting ice cream. Emma said nice things like, "But they won't know it's your birthday..." Emma also told her that she & Josie have had their birthdays here before. But Brielle still was not interested.

Well, we decided to go for it anyways. And we recognized Karley's birthday too. Karley was fine with the attention... while Brielle played "shy girl" and crawled up onto my lap.
Everything turned out fine... the song was over quickly... and they all enjoyed their ice cream.

Karley liked the whipped cream on top the best, and barely got to her ice cream. (Josie helped finish it off later.)

John picked out mint chocolate chip because it was GREEN ice cream.

As you'll see below, Karley was showing John her ice cream. Here's a funny thing that occurred... see how he has whipped cream on his finger? Well he was probably planning to taste it, but one nano-second after this photo, Karley reached over and used her hand to wipe off the whipped cream so John couldn't lick it. (It was funny, and I definitely laughed a little. And don't worry, no one cried.)

Like Karley, Brielle's favorite part was the whipped cream... and the sprinkles.

Emma and Josie both chose rainbow sherbet.


Now the kids are all in pajamas, teeth-brushed, and watching Brielle's new movie she picked out today... The Care Bear Movie.
