On you Fourth Birthday you wanted a Dinosaur Party

 dinosaur masks for the dinosaur egg hunt

dinosaurs were lurking throughout

birthday family shot

love the look on Caleb's face

the big 4

I'm thinking he's excited about his cake

don't you love how the other kids make the "blowing out the candles" face

They're off to the dinosaur egg hunt 

time to open presents

love his four year old "smile for the camera" 

after kicking soccer balls around for a while......

it was time for cake and ice-cream

and finally the pinata

this was one of the biggest and strongest pinatas I've ever seen

we even had these two (above and below) "professional" baseball players 

taking mighty swings at it

next resorting to swords

then both swords and  bats

finally after a little help from the Dads, out comes the candy and toys

I just love how my sweet nieces always make sure they help the little ones get their fair share

ALWAYS

the party group (minus 6)

and as always, the silly face pose

I couldn't help but notice the sweet little girls on each end seem lost on the concept.

I think their wondering "what in the world are these kids doing".

That's the way the little ones in our family roll.

What a great job you did with the party Melissa.

Fun was had by all.
