Aaron's 4th Bithday

Aaron turned 4 this last week. A couple of weeks previous he went to a birthday party down the street and came home and asked very nicely if he could have one for his birthday. I agreed and so we started planning out what he wanted. He wanted a dinosaur theme, a pinata, pin the tail on the dinosaur, a dinosaur cake, and balloons. So, we went out and bought dinosaur invitations, goody bags and the pinata and candy.

(I must say that having a birthday party is a good idea because whenever he wasn't behaving I would simply say, I am going to take all your party stuff back and you won't have a party. He would instantly do what I asked or stop throwing one of his fits).

Anyway, when I asked him who he wanted to invite, and he had a whole list. I think we had about 14 kids show up (6 of those were his cousins). The party lasted about an hour and a half and all the kids were great and well behaved. The favorite was the pinata. Thankfully, all the kids got a try to hit before it broke open. Aaron got lots of great presents and was super excited about all of them. Here are a few pictures from the party:

The dinosaur cake. I am not very good at cakes, but Aaron loved it!

Aaron had a blast and can't wait for his next birthday! He is also excited because he now get a whole vitamin and not just a half!
Now, I get to plan something for Sophia's 1st birthday which is at the end of the week. It will probably just be us and cupcakes and a few presents!
