Sam's 7th "Video Game" Birthday Party - Treats

The treats at Sam's video game party were pizza, cake, ice cream, and lollipops (to take home). Apparently Sam determined this year that "it's not a birthday party without pizza".


Above is Sam's awesome cake, prepared by Mom. Sam originally said he wanted all chocolate frosting. Then he decided on Saturday that he wanted vanilla frosting on top and chocolate on the sides. However, Pete later convinced him to go back to chocolate on top, since that would provide a more realistic interpretation of the arcade game and also give better visibility to the white dots (M&Ms). Sam placed the white dots shown on the cake.

Sam also informed us about a few things too late during the party, including that he wanted pepperoni pizza and that he wanted the piece of cake with PacMan on it.


Above, the boys enjoy their pizza. Note the painters tape in each seat with the name of who sits there. With the 15-2 child adult ratio at this party, nothing could be left to chance.


Above, Sam, Jackson, and Dylan are seen later in the party eating a combination of cake, ice cream, and pizza. Sam ended up a bit isolated during the eating portions of the party. This is partly because he insisted on sitting next to Jaylan, but Jaylan never showed up. Sam even bought a birthday present for Jaylan, when he learned that Jaylan was coming to his party and was not going to have a party of his own.
