Hey everyone!

So I've been debating how to write a first blog post. Do I do something totally awesome that will blow your minds? Something simple and work into the cool? Hmm... I'm thinking The Tiny Tyrant's first birthday is kinda a good mix of 'yeah - we are that cool' and 'crap! you meant this weekend!?!'

His big day is a couple weeks before his cousin's who is turning eight. Alley Cat loves everything BOY (we're working on that). So when we were talking about ideas, she decided dinosaurs was a good idea. Especially Scary Dinosaurs! Which totally works for me :)

Yep. Dino eating fruit guts. All the kids thought this was pretty cool. And it was so much easier to carve than I thought it would be!



And the table was fun

Jungle-ness. I cut dino bowls with my Awesome Silhouette cutter (I may need to name the thing)

 and we filled them with orange kettle corn. And the straws had little dinos on them. Also courtesy of Miss ______...

Cupcakes, of course.

And Dino backs and hats for everyone.

Which I realized, halfway through painting 20 (both sides - all of them different) of them 'the kids are going to think these are the dorkiest thing ever!' Fortunately, I was not a child at this party, so they all thought they were AWESOME!

 We had dino races

And no one really cared who won. I'm guessing it's the dino backs. Personal pride speaking here...

Even The Tyrant decided he was pleased.

Cupcakes.

And more cupcakes

And a BAZILLION presents!

Plus some boy bonding over trucks

And some slight confusion

Equals an AMAZING dinosaur party! Yay team!

Loves,
