Jake's birthday decor.
The mountain of dinosaur cupcakes.
The dinosaur cave.
The kids colored pictures to decorate the dinosaur cave and then roasted marshmallows in the fireplace.
The dinosaur volcano. I decided to do this on a whim and put it together in about 10 minutes. The kids loved it.
Video of the volcano.
Kids enjoying cake and ice cream. We had a total of 15 kids here.
My favorite 4 year old. (I love this age.)
Then tonight we had a ward chili cookoff and trunk-or-treat. I have a chili recipe that I made a week ago. My family loved it so I decided to make it for the ward social. It is a white chicken chili and is a really good recipe. I actually ended up winning the "best all round" category with it. Then we had a fun time with trunk-or-treat. My friend, LeAnn, is nice enough to be a family photographer each year at this event. Thanks LeAnn! (Also, as you can probably see, Kate did not like wearing her costume. I was lucky just to get her into clothes. I think I might need to get her some kind of a princess dress, although I love the little duck costume that I have for her.)

You are so creative, Laura. The dinosaur party looks like a lot of fun. Happy Birthday, Jake!
I remember you saying you weren't going to do a party for Jake but I'm sure glad you did! That looked like a lot of fun and not too hard to pull off! You are still very brave to have that many kids at your house at once. :) David and I are still working on that. also, drew totally did not wear a costume at Kate's age either - he completely refused so I put him in an orange shirt. Luckily, I have borrowed the costume that year. :)
Congrats on the chili win - I didn't even get a chance to try it! I will definitely try the recipe though- looks yummy!
ps- Happy Birthday to Jake! He was so cute today!
