It was a dinosaur party, but since I didn't feel like making a dinosaur cake, I just went with a volcano with dinosaur toys around it. It was pretty easy and the boys had a fun time playing with it after we cut it up.
The typical birthday party games. Ben didn't quite grasp the idea of the spoon relay race, I don't think he meant to cheat by holding on to the egg instead of the spoon. Oh well, no one else noticed:)
Aunt Miranda and Aunt Melissa were there too!
Blowing out the candles. 
Everyone got to make their own volcano in their cup with Sprite and a package of Pop Rocks. It was really tasty too!
We decided to make the pinata since a dinosaur egg shape was pretty easy with a balloon form. It was the first time I had ever done any type of paper mache and it wasn't too bad. I'm glad I started it early and did one layer each night for about four nights. Decorating it took the longest! Next time the crepe paper will go on like post-it notes. Oh well, it was a good learning experience.
I hope you had a wonderful Birthday Ben! We LOVE you!!!

It makes me so sad that our boys are growing up so fast! Your volcano cake is awesome!
I also can't believe it's been 5 years since we were neighbors! It's your fault I watch Idol every season. :)
Love the Dino Party idea! Ben is all grown up now, isn't he? The egg race is too funny! He's one creative 5 year old.
