Dylan's "friend" birthday party

Since we are in Florida for Dylan's actual birthday this year, I told him he could have a "friend" birthday party.  He selectively chose who he wanted there and had lots of instructions as to what he wanted.  1. Lego party 2. chocolate cake 3. pinata 4. presents must be legos :)  (we had to talk through that one a few times and explain we don't get to pick our gifts) Grandma Dolan decided last minute to make the trip up for the party which the kids absolutely loved.  They were so sad to see her go today and couldn't understand why she wouldn't stay longer :)  Thank you for driving up for Dylan! 

 Grandma and Grandpa bought Dylan a spooky train lego set and he was sooooo excited.  I have never seen him so excited over a gift.  He spent the rest of the night working on his train and finished the front. 

 his lego pull pinata that I made myself...looked great, didn't quite work in execution 

 lego cake

 can't believe this kid is almost 5, nuts! 

 we did some bag races in the basement

 and then egg races

 so serious...

 opened a few presents (some legos and some not, but all great! :)

 and cake!

 we found this cool #5 sparkler which was pretty cool except he couldn't blow it out

Happy early 5th birthday to my sweet Dylan.  He had an absolute blast with his friends today and is already talking about his party next year.
