i call him DINOMAN!

the valley family likes to celebrate birthday month....therefore this post about nick's bday is not late...infact it is early since bday month is not yet over....and thus may be a preemptive strike. AND i finally finished the last piece of the presents so it is doubly not late. AND there is still the rock bottom brewery bday dessert so i'm triply not late.

for nick's bday i decided to embrace his inner dino.

first there was walking with dinosaurs: the area spectacular where we cheered for the dinos, ooohh and ahhed at the flowers, ewwwwed at the dino poop, and made dino chomps at each other.

then there was the dino cake. a fabulous blue dino covered in swiss butter cream with toblerone spikes. and yes it did get the appropriate number of candles even though we had to turn off the air condo to keep it from blowing them out.

and then there were the presents. dino cuts sandwich shape cutter, dino pez, dino pants, and later dino fun nuggets and land before time.
