For those on Facebook, these pictures are not new, but I'm just getting around to posting them here. I'm obviously very behind in posting, but I'm trying to steal moments here and there to get some pictures on here. Monday was William's third birthday. So now he only looks about a year older than his actual age! :) We decided to have a playdate birthday party at my Aunt Chrissy's gym which was just fantastic. We had a great time and were so excited to celebrate with some great little boys (and their younger siblings)!
Obviously, the theme was dinosaurs. Lately William has really gotten into dinosaurs in a big way. I can honestly say that William can identify more dinosaurs than I can. When he recently showed me a Corythasaurus in a book we had not read yet, I knew my dino knowledge was already surpassed by this newly 3-year-old. I can't say that I was disappointed with the new obsession; you can only talk about, read about, watch, and play trains so much, if you know what I mean. Maybe I got a little too into the dinosaur theme for this reason, but it was a fun theme to work with.
Healthy foods are so much more appealing when you make them into fun, themed designs. I tried to tell this to William, but I'm pretty sure he didn't buy it. He did, however, love the volcano cupcake! No surprise there.
Party guests got to take home their dino hats along with dino jars filled with "dino eggs". Did I mention that I love working with a good theme?
Once again, mom was there to save the day and help me with watching Emmy while I carried out all my party schemes. Thanks mom!
And look who was off school that day. Lily threw up around midnight the night before so I decided to keep her home, which meant coming to William's birthday party.
Can't you tell how sick she is?
I love this picture of William. My sweet, sweet boy.
It seems that almost all the little boys we know also have little siblings - future party guests for Emilia's birthday parties!
The boys had lots of fun bouncing, swinging, running, and just being boys. Thank you to Patrick's mom, Molly, for adjusting my camera settings and then taking many of the pictures you see here. They turned out far better than they would have with my extremely limited knowledge of my camera's capabilities!
Poor girl on her sick day
Yes, yes you are, my almost 7-year-old, amazing little girl!
Michael, Hakon, and Patrick are ready to refuel after their active morning. I just love these dino hats. I'm only now beginning to appreciate having all the kids birthdays around Halloween - so many more options readily available for various themes.
Andrew and Brian partaking in some dino juice. Thank you to the makers of V8 for launching their new V8 fusion juices with dino characters just in time for our dino party. I truly can't thank them enough because it really would have bothered me if they did not fit into the theme. You think I jest, but I do not.

I just love the magic of birthdays, and I truly hope the kids feel how loved and special they are on this day and always.
I'm pretty sure William's wishes came true that day, considering that his wish was for candy and cake. When going to another birthday party recently, he said, "Mommy, I'm really excited about the cupcake". That's my William.
Birthday boy
Love that little smile...so very William
So happy together
THREE!! I can hardly believe it.
Can you feel the love? Emmy sure can! :)

What are the sons made from? I can't figure it out! Plus, I noticed the dino juices in the FB pictures and I was so very impressed and yes, I do know how you do not jest, even a little bit. :)
OMG, I can't spell apparently...suns. Sheesh.
Hey Tori. I took a biscuit-cutter and cut through a block of cheddar cheese, and then sliced the cylinders to make the suns. Oh, the things we do for a theme...
