Soren's 3rd Birthday BBQ

Dinosaurs, dinosaurs, and more dinosaurs! This is what Soren wanted for his 3rd birthday party theme. So I searched for every dinosaur item I could find, down to miniature dinosaurs for the cupcakes. It is such a neat time with Soren that he can actually express to me what he wants for his birthday, and get excited for the big day. I can't tell you how many times this kid wanted to look inside his "party bag" that I made for all the kids!!

The birthday was over Memorial Day weekend and Soren's Aunt Suzanne and Uncle Matt got to come down from Denver for the event! It made the party/bbq so special to have them there!! But, the best part was getting to see my STELLA!! You will notice in the pics below that she is on the move ladies and gentleman! This gal will be walking in no time. It is the best thing to see Soren with his little cousin and how they interact together.

Overall, a great birthday BBQ and I was so excited to show off my new backyard with the new deck!! But, what an ordeal getting ready for a kiddo birthday party......next year.....we're going to Disneyland!

Baby STELLA!! Look at those two little teeth!



The cupcakes Grandma Kathy and I made, even homemade frosting!

Soren blew out his number 3 candle on the top of the cupcake tree with no problem!! He loves parties and especially when they are in his honor:)


All the kids loved picking out their own special dinosaur cupcake, even the little girls enjoyed it!
Soren playing late into the evening with his friends Lola and Kate. They had so much fun together, I just had to capture this time. It's amazing to see them together because I've known their mom and dad for so many years!




Dinosaur nose anyone???
