Jaden is 4!!!

My guy is now 4 years old!!!  Oh how we love this kid:)

: from baby to now :

We had soooo much fun celebrating our J-man.
This year it was all things DINOSAUR.
This kid loves dinos and roars like one too:)

B-day breakfast included dinosaur shaped biscuits and fruit.
We also made some sugar cookies to take to his preschool class that day:)

It was a late night with swim lessons, so we opened presents in our PJs.
You could say Jaden was up quite a bit later than the usual with all the new toys distracting him.
He was spoiled... by us and grandparents alike:)

and of course he had to blow out some candles!


The dinosaur theme was an easy pick for his birthday bash:)

We started things off by welcoming all the little dinos to our cave.
They got started on painting their dinosaur stomping feet (empty tissue boxes with sponge toes), and then played around in the garage/driveway while waiting for everyone to finish.

The kiddos then followed the dino tracks to the kitchen for some grub.

They all looked so cute in their dino spike party hats.

After lunch, we headed back out for a Dino-Dig!

The kids each had a bucket and shovel to collect their dino fossils.

Then back inside for cake and presents:)

Jaden LOVED all his gifts and hasn't stopped playing with them.

We finished off the party with a Dino-Stomp!

The dino feet were mostly dry by this point, so the kids put on their dinosuar masks & feet and went to town.  The roaring was loud and ferocious, but so fun to watch.

We all had a great time!  

Included in the favor bags: dinosaur sticker book/activity sheet, plastic toy dinosaur, "dino droppings" (aka whoppers, milk duds & sugar babies), and dino fruit snacks.

Thanks to everyone for coming and making it such a fun day!!!

Happy 4th Birthday Mr. Jaden!
