Owen celebrated his 5th birthday with a dinosaur party!
Nine cute friends followed the dinosaur tracks inside....
They colored dinosaur pictures until everyone arrived.
My darling mom came and honestly, I could not have done it without her.
She read dinosaur books to the kids while I was prepping lunch.
We ate dinosaur chicken nuggets, chips, pretzels, strawberries and raspberry lemonade.
The kids ran outside in the back yard to hunt for dinosaur eggs. I hid 30 plastic eggs so
they each could find 3. It took about 10 seconds.
They then came in and "hatched" their own dinosaurs.
I made eggs out of baking soda, water and food coloring.
They slowly uncovered their eggs with a spray bottle filled with vinegar and a little paint brush.
Owen is super sensitive to smells. :)
Next the kids made fossils with their dinosaurs using homemade play dough.
Present time!
Owen sat in a chair and closed his eyes. I then pointed to a child and they had to ROAR and Owen had to guess who it was. They then could give Owen their gift.
He guessed correctly 9/10 times. It was hilarious!
We needed a 10 minute filler at the end so my mom came up with the idea
of dinosaur exercises, of course!
The kids loved this and were so cute.
I also showed them a 2 minute dinosaur video on my iphone.
They were silent and didn't move a muscle.
We finally finished off with dinosaur cupcakes.
Owen loved being sung to and blowing out his 5 candles.
Owen has such awesome friends!
Owen has been asking for weeks when his birthday is. He kept asking if he was 5 yet.
I am glad he is finally 5.
Owen is a silly & super sweet boy.
He loves Mr. Potato Head and Wall-E.
Owen is a SUPER picky eater but won't say no to any kind of cereal.
No one can be talking when he is talking and he still HATES haircuts.
He loves to be read to and he ADORES his sisters. All of them.
Owen loves to climb on my back and tell me he loves me.
I hope he never grows out of that one.
I am so grateful for Owen and love him like crazy.
