Happy Easter-Birthday!

It has been a busy weekend around here!  Royal's parents arrived Friday afternoon and we've been getting ready for our Easter-Birthday Weekend ever since.

We dyed Easter eggs.

I baked and cooked and decorated for Jayden's 5th birthday!  Once again, he wanted dinosaurs, so dinosaur is what I did.
A few dinosaurs in this corner :

A Happy Birthday banner, with an egg garland, and a few more dinosaurs over here...

A new dinosaur birthday crown - at the birthday boy's request.

I even made some special napkins for the day - Easter on one side and Happy Birthday on the other!

We got up this morning and went to church and then came home to do an Easter egg hunt.

Then played outside with some bubble guns.

Finally, it was time to open presents!

Look!  I'm alive!!!!

 Jayden and grandma did some digging for fossils.

I made Jayden a blue dinosaur cake this year.
Happy Birthday to you!  Happy Birthday to you!  Happy Birthday dear Jayden!
Happy Birthday to you!
