Iced-coffee and cigarettes. No, Nikolai, you won't be getting those until you're a little older. Those are for Andrea to keep her stress levels down ( don't worry, she'd smoke outside ). She got Kruger's son a dino-themed backpack with some dino-pals tucked away inside. Good thing the party had a theme or else she might have been standing in the toy isle for far too long and got a LOT more annoyed by being surrounded by young children. No, she had to deal with that here - but it's easier to do that when it's the children of people you know and semi-care about. See? She can be an okay Auntie at times. She got Kruger a gift too, but that beers tucked away somewhere else to be given post-party.

With the Caelum twins in tow, Raven and Adelaide made an appearance at the much talked about dino party at the Battlefield Park manor. Addie was a little vision in pink with a shirt picked out especially for the theme. For presents, a mind blowing science book, an I Spy book, and a set of long range walkie talkies. Hopefully Niko knows who needs the 2nd of the pair.

Jeff had heard there was going to be a Dinosaur themed birthday party and he simply had to attend. He was a dinosaur after all. He rode up on his bicycle ringing his bell.

He was thrilled to see all the children in attendance and danced and played, the inflatable head bobbing every which way.

If spoken to, he would always answer by holding up various large cards containing common phrases.

Such Phrases included:

Yes No Maybe Hello, My Name is Jeff! Did you know the The Tyrannosaurus Rex could probably eat 500 pounds of meat in a single bite? Why, yes I am single. Everything in the world either is or isn't a potato.

Before leaving he would distribute dinosaur crayons, dinosaur facts coloring books, and dinosaur puffy stickers.

The Birthday boy would receive a special present. A little kit that allowed you to dig for your own tiny dinosaur bones.

Nile was lucky enough to have her own pair of twins in tow. Properly, her twin brothers, Ypres and Yorktown (most definitely not Yorkie, but York was okay), aged eight. Just at the age where they failed to hit "we're too cool for this", and while still well in the throes of dinosaur fanaticism.

The boys took after their father more than their mother, growing into gangly, pale-blonde awkwardness with big blue eyes. York had a model pteranodon in hand, while Ypres had a model stegosaur, both clearly marked with "for ages 5 and up." Clearly, Niko was hitting the big leagues!

Nile herself had a giant stuffed koi as large as she was—something that was swiftly transformed into a giant stuffed coelacanth as large as she was, after a quick murmur to Ypres.

She'd do her best to not distract Des, and not let her twin brat brothers lord it over the younger kids too much. Or gorge themselves on cake, either...

Several hours before the party, Addie surprised her little brother at school with lunch and cake for his class. It of course fit the theme for the evening;
