Dino Party

Gracen has always loved dinosaurs and was more than excited to have a dino party for his birthday this year!   We had a lot of stuff going on around his birthday, so we couldn't have his party for 2 weeks after on November 5th.  

We started with pizza...

Then we dug for dinos...

After that we hunted for dinosaur eggs,

and broke them open to see what was inside.  The kids LOVED this!  They each got to use the hammer to smash open their own egg.  And, of course, they found a dinosaur inside!

Presents!  

Cake!

He wanted a green dinosaur.  

Blowing out the candles!

Natalie, Ethan, Brigham, Alden, Gracen, Sam, Lincoln, Hailey, Peyton, Ethan, and Nick.

 We almost forgot the volcano!  Good thing we had Brigham to remind us!

They loved this too!  They each got a turn to make it go.

He had the "Best birthday EVER!!"  

We missed Brynlee at his party.  She woke up with a fever that morning so she had to stay in the basement. It was sad, but I didn't want to pass on the germs.  We missed Bridger too, Nate took him out to play.  It was much easier that way.  He probably would have been eating the sand from the dino dig had he stayed!

I have to admit, it is pretty exhausting throwing a party for 10 kids.  So, to wind down from all the partying, we put Gracen's new nerf guns to use and ran through the house shooting each other.  It was fun, and the best part was the smiles and giggles from Brynlee and Gracen!
