Jack's 3rd Birthday Party

We celebrated Jack's birthday with a Toy Story party.  We let him pick what kind of party he had this year. After starting with an "Eggo" (Diego) party, a slight detour towards a superhero party, and even a dabble into a "Dino Dan" party, we finally landed on Toy Story.  He LOVES Buzz and Woody, and got a lot of Toy Story stuff for Christmas, so we already had a lot of decor.

We borrowed some Toy Story characters from friends, found a lot of free printables on the Internet, Mark made some designs, we planned a themed menu, and went to work putting it all together.

I was THRILLED with how it all turned out.  I loved how colorful it all was!! Pictures and captions from here on out. :)

In the movie, Andy's room is decorated with pictures he drew of his toys. Some super talented person recreated them and put them on the Internet for people to print. It looked exactly like real crayon. We hung them all around the kitchen.

These things were only $5.99 (for both) from Party City and almost entirely covered the sliding glass doors. They were huge!

We had a coloring station with Toy Story pictures and stickers.
