AJ's 3rd Birthday Celebration

What a difference a day makes!  From thunderstorms and no power yesterday to a gorgeous (and not humid!) sunny day today... we really lucked out when we rescheduled AJ's party to today!  Family and friends gathered to celebrate our little man, dino style!  My heart is full from all of the love we had surrounding us today...  Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate our first born!

The dino dig was a big hit - as well as the dinosaur glaciers, which lasted 
all about two seconds in the hot summer sun in the water table!

This picture makes me laugh... Both AJ and Laurie have the exact same expression on their face!

The dino bubble makers were awesome!  All the kiddos loved them!

T-Rex made a visit for some pictures... First up was Katie..

Then Mel!

Kaleigh wasn't too into playing the scared card... but then the wind blew and Mr. T-Rex started to fall into her and the next picture is priceless...

_MG_4228
She legitimately got scared and thought he was trying to get her!  It was so funny!

_MG_4229
Even Uncle Steve wanted to take a picture with T-Rex.

_MG_4233
Riley wasn't too phased that there was a T-Rex behind her!

_MG_4234
Cioci Kimmy tried to get AJ to take a picture because he wasn't so interested at first...

_MG_4237
But he started to warm up a little bit... luckily Mr. T-Rex is friendly and doesn't bite!

_MG_4240
Maddie wanted in on the fun too. 

_MG_4245
AJ playing camera shy and not wanting to be seen with Mr. T-Rex for a picture...

Molly wasn't scared at all!

_MG_4258
Neither was Xavier!

_MG_4260
But I think Daddy was trying to get him a bit scared...

The dino-riffic cake!

We asked the kids to get together and roar and this is what we got! 

_MG_4279
I absolutely love seeing all the kiddos together having fun!

Our little family.

We couldn't leave Mr. T-Rex out from our family picture!

For the late stayers at the party, we had a special surprise - fireworks!

Michael working his magic!

I promise they looked more like fireworks in person than just a big blob of fire!

A perfect end to a perfect day for our big boy!
