Dillon's 5th Birthday


We started out the morning with silly string, breakfast in bed, and of course...presents!!


Love the smile on that face! Priceless.




He was most excited about his costumes, and his bionicles (pronounced: ba-nonicles).Deaky enjoying the spoils of big brother's birthday.


The beginning of the party: we played a candy bar game. It was a big hit...wonder why?

Then we made spiders (it was Black Spider man themed) out of paper plates and decorations for eyes etc. Then we went down in the basement and raced them by hooking strings through them and pulling to see who was fastest. They were pretty competitive. We had to reassure everyone that there were several winners.

And, we're off to the races!


Present time!

Dillon, loving life. Notice Deakin trying to get a good seat in the background.

Enjoying his birthday cake out on the porch. We made spider cupcakes for everyone, and then a massive spider cake for Dillon, which he didn't eat at all...he only wanted the vampire teeth.


Deakin, enjoying more cupcakes.

Thanks everyone for remembering our little tyke on his birthday! He is pretty excited to be "a whole handful" now!

And not in a good way, because it means he's getting too big while I'm away!!! STOP GROWING UP WITHOUT ME!!! Such cute pics though! Looked like a super fun party! you are so creative! I love those game ideas!!
