The Kitchen Family

the actual PARTY

{june 23rd}

 So about a month ago Cohen told me he wanted an "Arnie" birthday party. I had no idea who Arnie was, and it took a good two weeks to figure it out. For those of you that know who Sid the Science Kid is {one of Co's all time favorite shows to watch} Arnie is Sid's HUGE green dinosaur stuffed animal that you RARELY see. So...I started searching the internet. NO ARNIE ANYTHING. There is ONE, literally one, image alone of Arnie and it had Sid standing in front of him {which we used for pin the nose on Arnie}. Well, I was lucky enough that the whole "Arnie" party idea sorta turned into a dinosaur party. I tried to tie Arnie in a little, but mostly went with a green dino party. Turned out quite well for the budget I let myself have.

 Those in attendance:

Vicki {next door neighbor, she fills in as Grandma}

Matt, Telicia & Bridger Webb

Josh, Mary, Henry, Jane & Will Gillett

Camee, Ty, Kaylee & Maddie Montgomery

Grandma & Grandpa {my parents}

Melissa & Brooklyn Garza

Party Activities:

- pin the nose on Arnie

- dug for dinosaur bones in the sandbox

- pinata

- opened gifts

- cake and ice cream

 Brock is the cake maker in our family, and I'm sure he always will be for birthdays. The dinosaur cake was much harder than he thought it would be, but it turned out great.

 The kids got juice boxes with their cake and ice cream, 

green ones of course.

 Cohen has WONDERFUL friends, and parents of friends.

We're lucky to be surrounded by so many genuine people.

 Cohen was counting down the HOURS til it was time for his party.

And thanks to fun friends and lots of sugar, I think it met all his expectations.

This was our first "real" kids birthday party to plan.

We had a blast!  

Can't wait til next year.

Happy 3rd Birthday 'Party' Co!
