Birthday Party #1

James got to celebrate his birthday with two fantastic parties this year!

Our first party was with family.  We went with a Cars theme (from the Disney movie) because James loves everything Cars and Cars 2! It wasn't an easy decision though.  We went back and forth between Thomas the Train, Curious George, and Cars. James is into so many different things right now, it's fun!

Tickets to the "big race" invited guests to the party.

A very fun Cars cake!

James was excited about all the decorations.  Each day they were on the walls he would wake up and say "Who's that! Who's that!"






James helped me put these balloons up. We used M&M's to weigh the balloons upside-down.  We went through alot of candy while decorating the house!


We even had Cars goodie bags! My mom and I found these at the Dollar Store!

Everyone enjoyed coloring...

...and games!  The fun car was courtesy of Grandma B!


Even a game for the adults!


Haley came over before the party to give James a birthday kiss!


Thanks sweet girl!

I think James enjoyed his birthday cake even more than last year.

He was anxious to dig in once the candles were out!


He really went for it, no hesitation.  Watch the video for fun cake footage!



And of course, birthday presents!

He was so funny to watch while opening his presents. I think he would have been happy with just one gift! He would sit and play with each present and was in no rush to open the next one!  It's true what they say about kids loving the boxes the gifts come in just as much as the gifts themselves...

After the party was over, he played and played and played!


 This was James' day, but there was no shortage of love and snuggles for Mikayla during the party!


Look at that big smile!



Happy birthday to an extra sweet boy!
We love you so much!



Fun party memories.
