Saxon's 5th Birthday!

For Saxon's 5th Birthday we had an Optimus Prime/Reptile Party :)
Saxon couldn't decide on which theme he wanted more.
Really, we had a reptile party, but we had Transformers plates to make Saxon feel like it was still and Optimus Prime party too :)
Brookie was in town and helped me get ready.
We made about 100 mini donuts,
and we made yellow cake cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese frosting.
And of course, a gummy frog on top :)
Jeff came and did his animal show.
I really can't say enough how cool it was!
Jeff has a way with kids and animals, so it was perfect.
He let all of the kids touch the hissing cockroaches and he taught them a ton of new facts about reptiles and bugs.  He even taught me some new stuff.
Jeff's legless lizard...
The kids getting to check out "Cinderella" the snake...
Everyone knows how tall Jeff is, so that gives you a good idea for how big this snake was.  It almost touches the ground when it's draped over him!



Everyone got a chance to feed Gordon.
Luckily, Gordon always likes to eat so he was more than willing to entertain the kids :)
Saxon was disappointed that he only got cupcakes and not a birthday "cake", so I put 4 cupcakes together and frosted them to look like one cake.  Saxon didn't even eat it.  He was too busy with his friends.



He got some really cool presents from his friends and had such a GREAT birthday party!




And we finally got to show off the twins to Brookie.
I had been telling her all about them, so it was so fun for her to finally meet them.
Here she is with Baby Wrigley.
