Dinosaur Birthday!

Our little guy Riker just recently turned 2. We think that Riker had an awesome day on his birthday. The first big deal he got for the day was getting to eat breakfast in the living room at his special table with his "Favorite" sister.



After that Riker and Sydney spent the morning building forts on and under that table. Oh to have the imagination of a 2 and three year old, it is just amazing. Then the kids went off to nap and Mommy and Daddy went to work decorating the house. As many of you will probably remember last year's birthday theme was Tires/Wheels. This year's birthday them was Dinosaurs. Definitely one of Riker's new loves, he does a very "menacing" dinosaur roar.

Mom not wanting to be out done from previous years had to make an AMAZING cake. She started on it on Friday and finished it Saturday during the kids nap before the party. Riker LOVED the cake.



Of course you can't have a birthday without singing Happy Birthday. Watch Riker's expression, he is not too certain if he likes this singing or not.



Even more than liking the look of the cake he liked EATING the cake.



Riker received many "Cool!" (his word for them) gifts. What a wonderful family and friends he has. I think he got into opening the gifts.


Who is more excited?
Mommy worked really hard on sewing Riker some gifts. Riker seemed to think they were pretty cool and played with these a ton since getting them.


There weren't too many kids at the party. But here are all three of them hanging out.


Of course the kids weren't the only people having fun. Thanks to our neighbors (Thanks Warmans!) we had some great games of ladder golf going.

No one competitive here!!! LOL
Here we are at the birthday party. I think we all look pretty happy.


With Great Grandma Esther attending the party we had to do the 4 generation picture.


We think Riker had a great day playing, eating and getting spoiled and we wish him many more wonderfully fun birthdays!
