Sophie's birthday fell on a Monday this year so we had her party on the Saturday before (September 29). It was a lot of fun and we had been planning it for a few months! We had a dinosaur theme and some bounce-houses. We kept Sophs inside until about an hour before and when we took her out she was SO EXCITED to see everything all set up! She loves the Kangaroo Zoo and so I knew she would love having bounce houses.
I loved finding cute dinosaur themed foods. We had "Tree Trunks" (brownies cut like a tree trunk), Dino Claws (Bugles filled with peanut butter and dipped into green chocolate), Dinosaur track cookies (sugar cookies with little dino footprints in them), Dino Dig Jellies (Layered Jello with a little dino bone in the layers), Dino Twigs (Pretzel sticks), Fruit-A-Saurus (fruit chunks), Molten Lava Cakes (chocolate cupcakes with red lava coming out), and Dino droppings (no-bake granola balls).
It was fun to have everything to make a dinosaur desert bar; I wish I would have gotten more pictures of the food table. We made it easy on me and just ordered some pizzas for everyone. We didn't have a cake but had some frosted cupcakes with the cutest little dinosaur cupcake liners.
We loved having our friends over to the party and it was so much fun to see everyone. Sophie was so happy the whole time and loved all the action! She loves dinosaurs and this was the perfect party theme for her this year!
We have such cute Grandma's! We had dinosaur masks for everyone. I also (what was I thinking) made a billion Dinosaur feet for everyone too!
I even made some big feet for the big kids!
We had a few different activities for her party. We had a fun bounce house and a bounce-house slide for the kids. It was fun to see everyone play and all the energy the kids had! It was great weather.
One of the big hits was the "Dinosaur Dig" I had little shovels, rakes, buckets, and brushes and the kids were able to dig around for dinosaurs! I think this was probably a favorite activity.
We have such sweet friends and neighbors. Thank you everyone for coming! It was a blast!
We had a "Build your Own Dinosaur" craft table with lots of paper dinosaurs, glitter glue, and embellishments for everyone's dinosaur. Sophie loved going around checking everything out and was quite the social butterfly. I loved it.
We also had a dinosaur volcano! I was going to do the kind that explodes but thought it mights not be a great idea with so many little ones, so we did a more gentle volcano! Preston and Ro were the volcano guys! We did two... it as fun to watch.
Sophie was so blessed and so lucky to get so many cool birthday gifts. Thank you again to everyone who came and made this birthday special!
We love you Sophie! Happy Third Birthday!
