He wanted a simple birthday party this year--skating and dinner with a few of his best theatre friends. So we did just that! He invited all kids from his Christmas Story cast--Sarah B., Marissa E., Remi R., and Grant M.
First stop: Skateland!!! It's kinda funny how Max has NO problem embarrassing himself. He is NOT a good skater at all but still wanted to skate with his friends (apparently Sarah is a very good skater:)

We did our best to be out of their way. We left them alone at Skateland for 2.5 hours and then bought their dinner and left them at ModPizza to enjoy time together there.
After dinner, they had some hang out time so they went over to Target and had a blast having scavenger hunts and playing hide-and-seek. Glad they didn't get kicked out:)
Of course there was Chris and I chauffeuring these teens around. The entire car ride consisted of show tunes being belted out--mostly songs from "The Greatest Showman" and "Dear Evan Hansen." But we enjoyed the noise anyways:) Great group of kids celebrating exactly how Max wanted to. It was the perfect birthday night for him.
Sunday--the actual day of his birthday--was our family celebration. We made his favorite pasta dinner, had ice-cream cake, and opened his present from his siblings--a gun rack to hang his Red Ryder BB gun, his light-saber, and his staff from Mulan above his bed.
