I posted about the party planning and a video of pictures, but not the actual party!
Want to know what reminded me that I had missed this oh-so-important post? The fact that the boys have already chosen the theme for their 4th party and we've already started "pinning" ideas and inspirations.

I had so much fun planning this party - I can't even tell you! I did have help from my favorite party planners: my mom and sister. They even made a special trip to help plan the party. Thank you again!
The party was held at the Williston Center in Minnetonka - complete with an indoor park and a splash pad. Perfect for a February birthday.
The pre-work included: making the boys' t-shirts, the gift bags for our cousins and friends, the banner, the sign, menu planning (and naming), and the dino tails (thanks again mom!)... I used my silhouette machine for the t-shirts, gift bags, and banner. It was all very very easy.
The menu included the following:
- Priorasaurus Punch (a drink of lime sherbert and sprite)
- Masonasaurus Maid-Rites (sloppy joe's)
- T-Rex Teeth (bugels)
- Dino-Dip (queso dip with cheese)
- Extinct Eggs (jello eggs - there is a GREAT story that goes with how I got my hands on those jello molds...be sure to ask me! Hint: craig's list!)
- Stegasaurus Sticks (pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate and dino sprinkles)
- 2 personal dino cakes for P&M and nest/egg cupcakes for our friends and family
I'm good at multi-tasking, but it was pretty difficult to be the host and also get photos. I didn't get nearly as many photos as I would have liked, so I'll remember that for future parties..

Our whole family! We were so lucky that all of our cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents could make it. So thankful for a mild winter and that everyone was healthy! We also had our friends: Carson, Tommy, Wyatt, Beau, Mena, Leighton, Ben, and Will. Seriously. These boys are so lucky!
The details (and the obsessive over-documenting with pictures and videos) paid off. The boys still talk about this party often. Mission accomplished!
Well, I better get back to pinterest!
