A Roooooaaaarin' Good Time!

We're just spreading M's birthday experience as far as we can! haha ;) Sunday we celebrated with a family get together - and what a great time it was. Lots of raorin' good times for our Matthew-saurus - yummy food (for the carnivores & herbavores alike), a few crazy kiddos and fun times with family.
 .
The Invitation (had to include this, just too perfect :)
 For a Roarin' good time, join us in celebrating as Matthew-saurus turns 5. We'll chomp on some yummy finger foods and gobble up some cake, while enjoying some dinosaur sized family fun. Hope to see you there!

We tried to keep the party fairly small, just family at first, but we ended up letting M invite just a few of his buddies last minute.  (If any of our friends reading this didn't get invited, I'm so sorry - I wish we could have invited ALL of his friends this year, but we just couldn't - next year for sure!!!)
.
Matt, AJ & Sammy, being crazy and playing w/ dinosaurs!
.
I thought it would be fun to make some extra dinosaur sugar cookies and let the adults decorate them. Then Matthew got to be the judge and pick his FAVORITE cookie, and that person got a prize :) He picked Sammy's mommy's cookie - way to go Jessica!
.
Pinata time - Kaylie was on FIRE hitting that thing ;)

Next year I need to be more intentional about getting group shots, or pics of different people at the party. Here are just a few pics. . .Had to get a belly shot of Auntie Brittany and Baby Emma - just one more month!! K and Grandma Nancy, Gigi and then David, Simone & baby Shiloh (7mo) :)
.
Others who made the party that much more awesome: Grandpa Scott (OUR AMAZING PHOTOGRAPHER!!!), Grandpa Eddie & Grandma Sandy, Cher, Emilio & Devynn, Rudy, Alex & Melissa and Jessica. What a blessing each and every one of you are in our lives, thanks for joining us in celebrating Matthew's special day!!!
