Every year my kids get a birthday sign for our birthday wall…and this one was so cool! This year’s sign for Smith glows in the dark! How fun, right?!?! We were super pumped to have it up all week!
Our big guy headed to the Perot Museum!
On the elevator heading up to the top floor. We like to work our way down.
Dino Day.
Kensington and Nixon are really funny together!
We came down for an early lunch before the cafe got too busy. Happy campers!
My pretty girls.
Trying to get a good pic of the five of them proved challenging. Ashby is saying “hey, you’re pushing me”. They’re in line here to ride the earthquake simulator.
Building and designing is always one of Smith’s very favorite parts.
Heading down.
Everyone is singing happy birthday to my big six year old here.
It was the perfect dino day for our Smith!
And…if you want to make those cupcakes, the recipe is right here…
…my Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes are pretty darn fabulous if I do say so myself!
