Dinosaur – ROAR!!!!

Hudson is slightly obsessed with dinosaurs. One of his favorite games is to chase you while saying Dinosaur ROAR!!!! And usually he is carrying his T-Rex with him. :)  So, it was a no-brainer that his party needed to be a dinosaur theme.  I got the CUTEST invites on Etsy (I can’t figure out how to black out our personal info so here is the sample from the site):

In addition to Hudson’s obsession with dinosaurs…he is also obsessed with bounce houses.  So, we decided to rent a bounce house and have his party in our backyard.  ***ETA: I forgot to mention that my amazing husband picked up the bounce house, set it up and returned it – ALL BY HIMSELF.  This is highly impressive because that thing weighed 250 pounds!!!!***  Yes, Hudson’s actual birthday was a month ago…but since you never know if we will have 80 degrees or a foot of snow on the ground, we decide to wait a few weeks to make sure the weather was (hopefully) nice.  Going forward I will have his party as close to his actual birthday as I can since it was a little confusing for him (especially since we ended up having his party on my birthday which REALLY messed him up).  Anyway, it worked out well weather wise so that was good!
