Parker's Dinomite Dinosaur Birthday Party

For Parker's 4th birthday we had a dinomite dinosaur birthday.  He was so excited and kept asking how much longer until his party.  He loved helping get ready.  We had the party at church and served PreHistoric Pizza with other dino treats.  We had a face painter and the kids could get their face painted and balloons animals.  She made neat dino hats for the kids and a big dino for Parker.  We had a dinosaur egg hunt to start the party.  The kids loved finding all the eggs filled with little dinosaurs.  After lunch we had two dinosaur pinatas for the kids and three different games they could rotate through.  We played pin the horn on the dino, egg toss in the dino cave and dino ring toss using the big inflatable dinosaur.  Parker loved his cake and cookies.  The kids all got a dinosaur, dino mask, and pack of dino egg gum.  It was a fun day celebrating our Dino loving four year old!

Opening Night of Yuletide

Tonight was opening night of Yuletide Celebration.  We met for dinner at McCormick's and Schmitt before the show.  

Such handsome boys.  Daddy had to go to an opening gala for his new office but was able to meet us for dinner.

Chocolate box dessert.  It was full of chocolate mousse.

Seeing the reindeer before the show.

Love the big nutcracker.

So much fun!

Yuletide is one of our favorites!  Such a magical and fun show.

Love these boys.

This was Joe's third year to be in the show.  The show was wonderful this year!  It was so good.

Proud parents.

It was fun for Katelyn and Joe to be in the show together this year.

The boys loved seeing Uncle Joe after the show.  

I can't wait to go back again!

Andrea's Ornament Party

Andrea and her mom host a fun ornaments party each year.  This year the party was at Andrea's house.  Her house is so cute and decorated adorably!  Miss Gigi was the cutest little hostess.  She was hard at work on a game.

We played games, made a cute ornament decorations and played the ornament game.  So many cute ornaments.

So thankful for Andrea and her friendship!  I am blessed to have her in my life.

State Museum with Cousins

Ready to head out for the day.  These little boys are getting so big.  I love my days with them.

We headed to the State Museum to listen to Katie's choir and hand chime groups perform.  These cousins were excited to listen.  It's a little tough getting five little ones ages four and under to look and smile.

The chime group.

The choir.  Katie did a great job.

Are you ready for a sleigh ride!  I love these cousins.
