Tyrannosaurus-Max is 4

DSC_0446_2

Maxwell turned 4 on March 31st. The following weekend we had his birthday party. As much as I tried to talk him into another theme I had in mind, he is old enough to want to make his own decisions and chose a Dinosaur Party at Thanksgiving Point Dinosaur Museum (one of his favorite places to go ever)
Max made all the decisions of what he wanted for his special day including the guests list, girls weren't allowed at first but he eventually changed his mind.

We started out with a guided tour of the museum. With lots of hands on exhibits for the kids to enjoy. Our friends who joined us for the party were Beckham Wathen, Easton and Zach Lovell, Ainsley and Cecily Tornow, Linkin Park (no I didnt mispell that) Christian Dowse, and sisters Lucy and Adyson. {adults in attendence : mom and dad, Aunt Lisa, Erin Wathen, Uncle Bandele}

After our tour and play time, we headed into the lab to make our own Trilobites, the kids got to choose which fossil they wanted to make.

hen we headed into the party room for lunch and cake. Max chose Cafe Rio catering for his lunch. He loves rice beans and chicken quesadillas so this was no surprise.

By lunch it was poor LuLu's nap time and she could hardly wait to go home and go to bed.

Whoa I've missed a few posts! HAPPY BELATED BDAY MAX!! That party looked too too fun :) Loved every little detail! How fun that they got to make trilobites! and the red velvet "long neck" (land before time;) reminds me of "Steel Magnolias" :) Anywho, looks like the handsome birthday boy had a blast!

YAY! Such a cute post! We love Max! I loved the picture of Ainsley giving him a hug (was she trying to get a kiss in there??).
