Dinosaur Party (3 years old/Kieran)

Kieran had a really busy, loud, but incredibly fun dinosaur birthday party earlier this month.  It was so busy that I didn't get many pictures of the small amount of décor or the CAKE!  Hello!?!  It was awesome though:)

We had to open presents first because it was just too hard for the little boy to wait.  He was like a magnet and he knew they were for him.  He was patient and didn't get upset with all of the kids hovering around him.

Lots of big sister help!

Whoah!  A marble run set!  Kieran got a lot of dinosaurs and he's been obsessed with all of them since his party.  He lines them up or he makes his big dinosaur eat them. Papa gave him a soft dinosaur that you put your hand in and then you can make it chomp.  He especially likes this dinosaur to eat his little dinosaurs. 

He also got a sandbox, which has been a huge hit.  He LOVEs to play in the sandbox and we've spent tons of time there! Ryder had fun too!

Anticipating the cake!

Here it comes!!!  This was the first time that we actually invited "friends" to a birthday party.  We've always just had family birthday parties, but guess what....we actually have friends now.  And, these said friends have children that our kids love too!  It's kind of a new thing for us and we love it!

It was fun to see him interacting with his buddies!

It took him forever to eat his cake until he finally switched back over to his left hand. First piece for the birthday boy!

At the last minute I ordered these dinosaur masks from amazon for the party.  I'm so glad I did because these were a HUGE hit and Kieran got SO excited!

RAWR!!! 

Happy birthday sweet boy!  We love you!

The girls!  Haley, Lauren, Maci, and Svea.  Such a goofy girl.  She's always wanting to do silly pictures.  I love that she likes to have a good time and be funny!

Maci and Svea!

Papa came for the birthday party too!

Giving a hug to his spiderman punching guy thingy:)

It was a beautiful summer afternoon/evening!  Playing on the swings!

Saying good-bye!  Thank you for coming!

What do you think?  Should we attempt to take family pictures this fall?

Will these two smile for it:)

Will we get a good pic of all of us!  I love taking tons of family pictures and hoping for one good one, but also smiling and laughing at the fact that one or two of us always are doing something funny.

Gaga was here too!  Grandpa Ron got called into work so he couldn't be there.  It was a great day and a great 3rd Dinosaur Birthday Party!!!
