A party in Dubai wouldn't be complete without some freak occurrence. On this day, my kitchen gas ran empty about 30 minutes before party time (exactly when all the food was being cooked)!
And, now...onto 3! Dylan and I discovered Dinosaur Train (a show on PBS) sometime in January, and we've been hooked since. It's incredibly educational (seriously, I've learned a ton about dinosaurs) and has a cute little catchy title song. Everyone's happy. So, for birthday #3, I decided to do a dinosaur theme. Birthdays 1 and 2 were challenging for any games, but I knew that this year they would perfect! I made 'fossils' and buried them in a sandbox for the kids to dig up. I also had the kiddos hatch dinosaur eggs (balloons) to get the baby dinosaurs out. The kids hunted for dinosaur eggs (spray painted Easter eggs) that were filled with goodies. We also attempted some water painting of dinosaurs. My crowning glory though was the cake! I made a dinosaur landscape complete with a 'smoking' volcano!
This birthday was special because the grandparents (and even a great grandma) helped Dylan celebrate! While the grandparents made it to Dubai for his first birthday, it wasn't possible for them to make it for #2.
