It was a fun and crazy party. What do expect when you put 11 little boys together in one little backyard for a birthday party? I think the boys had a lot of fun, though. We had a Dino Dig where the kids dug in a kiddy pool full of sand for dinosaur skeletons and eggs filled with treats. We also played pin the horn on the triceratops, hot dinosaur egg, and broke a T-rex piñata. What fun! We also had a pretty awesome cake except I should have taken a picture right when I was done because later the head fell forward and the icing started sliding down the sides. I guess it was a little too warm.
I found this invitation idea while blog surfing. They turned out so cute.
Opening presents starts with everyone sitting nicely on the ground.
Then it gradually turns into this.

My friends are amazing. I bet that cake took a little time--glad you got pictures! It has been great weather for a party.
Glad you posted about the party - Dylanasaurus had so much fun! You did a great job on such a cute party!
Happy Birthday Porter!! I can't believe how fast he is growing. The cake looks great. I hope that I can throw fun parties like you and Hannah do once Addison is old enough.
Happy Birthday Porter! Meg, I love the cake and the invitations. So cute. Did you do the cake yourself? It is great. I also like the idea of the dig.
I did do the cake myself. See http://www.instructables.com/id/3d-Dinosaur-Birthday-Cake/
The things that I would do different is make the cake and frosting from scratch. The store bought cake mix was too moist so the head could not support the weight of the frosting. I guess you could also try adding extra flour. The store bought frosting was too soft so it started sliding down the sides.
Sorry. That whole link is:
