Emmett's Birthday Party

Last Friday we had Emmett's birthday party.

Since Emmett is so into messes, I thought dirt cake was the way to go for his birthday. Complete with grubs and bugs. Emmett got a "little" pot just for himself.


And I made a big pot for the rest of us.


Family came over and everyone went outside to check out the new backyard (many posts on that huge project forthcoming...)


Katrina is such a fun aunt!


Presents!




Ooh, what's in this superbly wrapped gift Daddy?




Rex! Uh oh, look at the face on Emmett.


Looks like Dad may have struck out with this gift. Emmett did not like Rex.


Moving on.


Except Emmett kept looking over with worry at Rex.


But then he got a 4 wheeler!


See those fingers move? He's looking at Papa holding Rex and worrying about Rex biting his fingers off thanks to someone's comment about that.


He's watching you Emmett...


This was funny, but poor Emmett...


Cake!


Turns out he was just so so on the cake, but he loved the gummys.


Later Daddy tried again with Rex.


But then Daddy squeezed Rex to make him squeak and it was all over for Emmett.


Escape to the 4 wheeler.


Carson liked Rex though. He decided to play dentist.




After the party Emmett picked Rex up, held him at arm's length and put him back in the box he came in! So funny!

By the end of the evening Emmett warmed up enough (as long as no one squeaked him) to say hello, shake him and even gave him a hug goodnight.


Ah, and a kiss.


It took a couple days, but now he likes Rex well enough to squeak him himself!

Happy Birthday Emmett!
