Dinosaur Birthday

Grandpa Jim and I attended Silas' Dinomite Dinosaur Birthday party a couple of weeks ago. He was three years old on February 13, and his party was dinosaur EVERYTHING. He and Joel looked like two paleontologists as they greeted me and Grandpa at the door.

Two other families complete with 6 kids ranging in age from 2 - 4 1/2 attended. I think the highlights for the kids were the awesome dinosaur cake, complete with two roaring dinosaurs on top; and the dinosaur egg hunt. It was pretty crazy with 6 little ones running around.


Unfortunately Auntie Annie, Uncle Justin, and cousin Claire couldn't make it because about two hours before the party started, it began snowing like crazy and didn't stop until about 9:00. The roads were so slippery that even though they started on their way, they saw cars in the ditch everywhere and decided to turn around. It took them an hour to get back home from Dubuque Street, which was only a couple of miles from their house.


Silasaurus seemed to like the Elmo backpack (with toys inside) from me and Grandpa. We thought he might need that when he starts preschool in the fall. With the party just down the street, even a raging snow storm couldn't keep us from joining in on the fun!
