Last Saturday was Andrew's 4th birthday party. He told me, "I always want dinosaurs all the time" so he got a dino-mite birthday party! 10 minutes before the party started (pictured above), he said, "I'm so excited about everything!"
The excitement was contagious.
As soon as the kids got there, they got to finger paint dinosaurs.
Keira was the only one who got REALLY messy. As you can see here, she is SITTING on her painting. Yikes!
Even Uncle Gabe got in on the painting.
Next, the kids got to go fishing for dinosaurs. It wasn't raining when we first went out there, but during our 10 minute game, it really started to come down. The kids loved it, though, and were so excited to see dinosaurs on the end of the fishing line!
The finished artwork.
Zach's beautiful smile!
My little 4-yr-old! (well, almost) He loved his T-rex cake. He asked for a mean, green T-Rex and that's what he got!
Time for presents.
ALL dinosaurs! Everything Andrew got was dino-related. It was awesome! He loves all of his gifts and they all got to play with them after he opened them.
I love this pic of Gabe and Allie! Don't they look cute?
Happy birthday, Andrew!
Here are the dino pics I drew for the kids to paint.
It took several hours, but the cake turned out pretty good. I thought frosting it would be the most difficult part, but designing the pattern turned out to be. It worked out great too because I saved the leftover cake scraps and the leftover frosting (3 colors) and we had enough for the kids and I to make "gingerbread houses" out of the other day.
We saw one ant Friday night before we went to bed so this is the mote we made so the ants couldn't get to the cake. (There's water in the bowls.)
