The friend party

My big boy turned 4! Ahh! I can't believe it.

So we had what we call the Friend Party (because we usually have 2 one for family and one for friends).

This year we reached the age where I think I need to have parties where the parents can drop their kids off in my care (if they choose, but they of course are welcome to stay). So I invited the friends that he plays with the most and I also decided that it should have a theme and planned activites, sort of, rather than the usual run around like crazy people sort of party. (which by the way I know that kids also like.) I guess it was sort of a Big Kid party *sniff sniff*.

All things Lightning McQueen

here our pint size guests are panting some little wooden race cars

of course we have to play one of Garrett's favorites, Red light Green light

I had also planned a tire game in case of inclimate weahter which the meteorologists had threatened, but alas we didn't use it. I must get off my chest that I gave up on pool parties, which I have always done in the past assuming that in June it will be nice weather, I won't go into the one we all know about what happens when you assume!





And have a Lightning McQueen Cake!

Make a wish my sweet boy!

I usually have made cupcakes, but this is my first attempt at making a more difficult cake. It didn't turn out half bad I think.

A pretty happy (spoiled) kid!
