Gage had his very first friend Birthday party this year. This Birthday was on a Saturday, so the party was exactly on his Birthday which was fun. We ran the invitations to his friends a few days before and counted down till the big day! He wanted a 'Rustler Car' Birthday theme, (his new remote control car) but I was able to broaden it to 'Race Cars'.

I had fun researching and getting party ideas. We saved cereal and graham cracker boxes for weeks and I made traffic lights out of them. It was very easy, cute and inexpensive!

I also made this banner our of checkered material and some binding.

The cake was a huge project for me, like always! We spend two hours on this puppy! Gage was there helping me the whole time. Its a race track in case you can't tell!

Party favors for all the kids.

We first played games. First with balloons.

Then more with balloons, this time races.

Push the ping pong ball across the room using only your nose.

Then 'pass the car'. Basically the same as hot potato with a hot wheel car.

The whole group...

then down to three!

Open present time and heavy, heavy hangover.

Pizza for lunch!

Birthday boy!

The whole gang! This is my project 52 for this week. Had to do some head swapping!

make a wish!

My sweet love of a husband who was SO much help! Thanks babe!

Mandatory picture with Mom as thanks for such a great party! ;)

Grandma Kerry came up that afternoon and gave him this fantastic tool set. We attended the Temple for our ward night and she stayed over and watched the kids!
