4th Birthday Party

Today was Brychan's very first birthday party, which he has been "patiently" waiting for all week! He was allowed to invite 4 friends for his 4th birthday, and he knew exactly which four he wanted to invite.

We had a bit of a "Dino-bration" this afternoon.  Dinosaur foot prints

Dinosaur cupcakes

And decorate your own dinosaur goodie bags

With dinosaur party hats

And dinosaur eggs to hunt.

We also had a "dino dig" in the dirt pile in the back, complete with shovels, magnifying glasses and lots of mini dinos to be found.

Brychan was super excited and stood by the front door for 15-20 minutes waiting for his friends to arrive.
 Bella was the first to arrive and they had to get their party hats on ASAP.

The one thing Brychan really wanted for his birthday party was a pinata.  I had no clue he even knew what a pinata was, but when I asked him, he told me right away "it's a pinata you hit with a stick and candy falls out of it".  Yep!  So, we had a T-Rex pinata, which Daddy ultimately had to hit to break open.

 Why is he only willing to sit and say "cheese" so perfectly when his mouth is covered in chocolate?
 Brychan and all his little friends: Cameron, Nathan, Bug, Bella and Kate.
I think all the kids had a blast, but phew!!  Throwing a birthday party is hard work!!!  This momma will be going to bed early tonight.  Although...I have an actual birthday to prepare for tomorrow.

Happy, happy birthday! I love birthday parties! What great ideas. Let me know if you ever want to do a carnival or rocket b-day party - I got you covered. Those were our best yet.

So sad we missed it--it looks like it was a blast!
