Baby Trenor: Dargan's Birthday Party

His actual birthday isn't until Tuesday (5/10) but we had his birthday party this weekend! The theme was (obviously) dinosaurs.

The Trenor grandparents plus Scott's aunt came into town on Thursday evening, and Scott & I took Friday off from work to do party prep and spend time with the family. We also took the opportunity to go mountain biking on Friday morning. :) The rest of the day was spent baking goodies, getting last minute items, and cleaning. We also went out to dinner at Southern Culture.

Saturday (party day!) was a busy but fun day. We started out by going to the opening weekend of the TR Farmer's Market, joined by the Wetmore grandparents. Got some food, enjoyed being out in the sunshine.

Good morning!

Wearing the onesie from Swamp Rabbit Cafe & Grocery - one of the market vendors. It earned us a free coffee. :)

After a busy midday of naps, cleaning, baking, and decorating, it was finally party time!

I made his high chair banner - had fun coloring in the dinosaurs ;)

balloons!

cute napkins

Homemade cupcakes w/ chocolate buttercream icing (and dino rings as decoration!)

Dinosaur "footprints in the sand" cookies

Party favors: bubbles, dino eggs, and growing dinos

Scott was a good sport about these shirts

Dargan's dinosaur outfit was much more subtle

He loved this gift from our neighbors - dinosaur rocker/riding toy!

Unimpressed by cupcakes

We were so wrapped up in coordinating the food / cupcakes / etc that we didn't even get to the opening of gifts. In hindsight, it was probably less chaotic that way. He got to enjoy opening gifts on Sunday morning!

Still loving the dino rocker

Other Sunday (Mother's Day!) fun - we took a bike ride down to Upstate Craft Beer Co for lunch and then spent the afternoon just playing around the house.
