July = Graye's Birthday!

Graye turned 5 this summer and we had his first party with school friends in attendance.

We wanted to go to the spray park, but the weather wasn't the best that day. (Even though it was hot out for 10 days before and 10 days after the one day we had planned the party! ARGH!)

There was a monster they had to hide from:

More cute than scary if you ask me though!

Super cute Rhiannon (Tegan's best bud):

I made Graye a dragon cake for this birthday... a slight variation on the dinosaur cakes that we've had for the previous 2 years! Don't worry though (I know you were!), the theme of the rest of the party was still all dinosaurs.

Wings added:

And fire!

Graye only ate the wings (fruit roll-ups) - his cake wasn't touched...

Then came presents! Everyone helped out.

More dinosaurs to play with!

Dinosaurs make Graye very happy....

A few days later we celebrated Graye's "real" birthday. He told us that he was going to get the biggest dinosaur ever for his birthday - so we had to try and comply!

The night before I set out his presents and at 5 am the next morning I heard him out of bed. I called him to go back to bed and he comes to the stairs dragging the big stuffed dinosaur and trying to get it up the stairs with him. No going to bed after that!

Pretty sure it was a hit! It sleeps under the covers beside him every night now.

That night we had all the family that was in the city over to celebrate. For those who don't know, Graye was born 5 weeks early, exactly 3 minutes after midnight - on the day after my Dad's birthday. :) So Graye and Dida celebrate together every year.




Happy Birthday to my most favourite son and Dad!! :D
