This year for Skyler's birthday party we went to Nickelcade. They played video games, and had cake and ice cream. Alex and Jacob thought it would be funny if they got Skyler a manicure and pedicure set. They had taped some money to the bottom of the box though. I think he is going to keep it for their birthdays next year. We had fun although Skyler was a bit disappointed that most of his friends did not bring a gift. I was a bit bothered, although I know that is not why you have a birthday party. However, I think it is pretty rude to send your kids to an expensive birthday party like this one and not send anything. I guess maybe he is too old for birthday parties. We probably won't be doing another one. I hope that this post does not upset anyone. I am putting this out there mainly so we can remember this in the years to come. Let me know if you have any thoughts on the matter. Maybe I am wrong for feeling a little frustrated or is it bad etiquette???
