Today was Damian's Birthday party at a pretty cool place called Kidz Village in Kenilworth, NJ. Damian and I have a special bond ... okay, I'm reaching here, since the kid hardly knows who I am, but when he gets older and realizes how cool it is to share a birthday with me, I'm sure he'll think we have a special bond! Only really cool people were born on April 13th :) 
Fabian and Melisa with their only son Damian ... Melisa is pregnant with a second boy and is due in July! Although I don't get to see Melisa very much for playdates anymore, at least I see her every month or two for bookclub. Fabian is Uruguayan (like Maribel's husband Marcelo), so they have been to the Uruguayan pizza place in Elizabeth were we went a few weeks ago ... I realize that's a bizarre thing to write in this post about Damian's birthday, but I thought it was a bizarre coincidence that someone else was familiar with this small little pizza place that is so far away!
This place was great ... it had a jungle gym play area, then several different rooms with unique themes. Reagan could have spent the entire day there, since there were so many things to do! The first room was a dance room, complete with a DVD going with ballet instruction and a whole basket of dress-up clothes. Too bad my pictures aren't better quality, but I only had my iPhone with me.
Reagan dancing ... or maybe she's just having fun looking at herself in the mirror!
There were lots of dress-up clothes for boys and girls and she found this mask laying around. she thought she was so funny when she put it on and posed for a picture!
This room was a mock-supermarket, so Reagan went shopping with her shopping cart, then checked out at the cash register ... here's Corey's son Matthew, trying to make the food item move on the conveyor belt (by pushing it instead!).
Corey and 10 month old Jamison who was trying desperately to climb out of the stroller (she's a climber, just like her older brother Matthew!)
Top Row: Jamison and Corey, Stacey and Ronni
After the pizza and birthday cake, each child received a cup full of tokens to use on the video games. Reagan loved playing all of these and I thought she looked pretty cute on this snowmobile :)
Damian ~ the Birthday Boy!
