The theme of Jack's party was Cars and Trucks. We celebrated at Mimi and Papa's house a week after his actual birthday.
I always thought boy parties would be boring, but I have had so much fun planning Jack's last two birthday parties.
The decorations were all primary colors. I used my Silhouette digital cutter (similar to a Cricut) to make all the cars, the banner, cupcake toppers, and favor tags.
We made a felt road through the food table and put some of Jack's big, chunky cars and trucks on it.
Mark made these cute signs to put around the table. They were framed in Dollar Tree frames.
We made Jack a little birthday shirt with an iron on transfer.
We had cupcakes (ordered from Wal-Mart... if only I was talented enough to make perfect cupcakes).
For the first time ever, I decorated cut out sugar cookies with royal icing. It's the kind of icing that hardens onto cookies. It has always intimidated me, but I've seen so many great results, so I gave it a try.
It seems like it took all night, but I was pretty happy with how they turned out. Maybe I'll try this again in a few months. :) I made them for party favors... everyone got two in a bag tied with a little favor tag.
Jack got so many great presents. He was so cute opening everything.
We sang happy birthday and Jack got to eat his car cake that I made him. I know, you are all jealous of my awesome cake decorating skills. If I had only thought this one through a little more...
The shirt came off so he could go to town on the cake, but he was really neat the whole time. And he barely ate any of it, because he hardly eats anything EVER!
We had so much fun with family and friends. Brad, Vicky, and Ruckus even came in for the party!
This little lady had a lot of fun, too!
And, for the record, I can't get over how BIG Jack looks in all of these pictures!
