Germany Journals: Dinosaur Birthday Party!

The weekend following Aud's birthday we had a little party for her. Her first party that wasn't only family ;) We had our neighbors from beside us and from across the street. All four are boys. Aud calls them "my boys". It was pretty low key. Amanda helped me make tails for the kids as favors. Trying to get them all together with all the tails on was impossible. We played a balloon game that my Mom did for us when we were little. You put big tshirts on the kids, pair them with and adult and see who can fill the kiddo's shirt with the most balloons. Aud and I would have won if Ben wouldn't have sabotaged me, by holding my arm away and taking my balloons! It was so much fun. Only three out of the 6 wanted to play but they all had a blast. Ben blew up so many balloons, they all had the best time playing with the balloons and popping them.

All of the boys wore dinosaur shirts to her party and her gift from Lincoln and Greyson was a T-Rex shirt. She was soooo excited and wears is all the time now!

We had pizza, veggies and fruit (for the herbivores), wonton crackers, dirt cups with dinosaurs, and homemade coconut ice cream. Aud told me I needed to make meatballs for the carnivores but was willing to accept the pepperoni pizza as their food! :)

I wish I could accept the credit for these tails but I can't. Ben made 3 of them and our sweet neighbor made the other 3. She made two for her boys then made 2 more for her nephews but with a cutting error, we had to borrow an one from her for Audrey's tail. Thanks for the help Amanda, you're the best! They were huge hits. Our kiddos wear them all the time.
