We are fortunate to have quite a few family members live closeby so we can get together for family birthday parties. This year Grandmom was in from Florida, so we decided to do both boys' parties the came day. It worked out pretty good. We had Grandmom, Grandma, Papa, Jeb, Jen, Hannah, Michael, Emily, Jason, Rachel and Brayden with us.
Uncle Jason, Auntie Rachel and Brayden enjoying some dinner. We had pizza.
Grandmom with Gabi, Kai and Hannah.
For a game we played 'Pin the head on the Dino Skeleton.'
This cracks me up. I didn't notice at the time, but Kai is lifting up his blindfold to sneak a peak. I guess you are allowed to when you are the birthday boy!!
Uncle Jason and Brayden's turn.
Daddy's turn!
Uncle Michael analyzing the situation before he takes his turn.
Auntie Emily.
Auntie Rachel and Brayden having a turn.
Granmom's turn. Who needs a blindfold!? Are you peaking under there?
Auntie Jen
Oops, the camera was too high. Uncle Jeb taking his turn.
And last but not least, Grandma had a turn. Gabi was tricky and instructed her to put it in the wrong place...right in a dinosaur's mouth. Funny!
Kai's dinosaur birthday cake, with Koa's name on it too!
Koa had a cookie monster cake. There is a story behind this: Nathan's first birthday cake was a cookie monster cake. We had talked about recreating it for Gabi and kai but couldn't find a cookie monster cake. Then we got smart and just asked the grocery store to make one. :)
Kai checking out his cake before we sing to him.
Dad, there is a big blue guy looking at me!
Dad starting Koa out with his first taste.
Hey, I like cake!
Koa going right for the eyes. :)
This is what we were counting on. Koa is our only kid who loves to eat and will eat anything. Gabi and Kai just cried when we tried to get them to eat their birthday cake. This was fun to see Koa just dig in!
Kai getting off all the dinosaurs off his cake.
Uh, I had too much frosting! This is the end product. He did pretty good for his first time!
Kai reading his birthday card.
Kai got some new leapfrog books and his own pen. Now Gabi and Kai don't need to share anymore.
No, Kai is not sitting on Koa's head. Just a good camera angle I guess!
This activity block is what Koa got from Grandmom and Granddad.
All smiles from the birthday boy!
The boys' birthday loot. Thanks everyone!
Grandmom with Gabi and Koa
I didn't get a picture of these on the night of the birthday party. This is what Kai got from Grandma and Papa. They are a set of 7 dinosaurs in a plush rock case. The boys love them! Kai lines them up like this either on the foor or on his headboard and then pretends with them. Great toy, no noise and all creativity!
