Gavin's Raceway Birthday Party
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUDDY!
Gavin turned 2 today! It was a fun weekend with family and friends. The above picture is him taste testing the cake batter. Hmmmm .... chocolate fudge with chocolate chips. Here is the cake I made for his CAR theme party. I love making the kid's cakes for their birthdays. Even if it means staying up until 2 a.m. to finish.
Lunch was fun to put together. Each item had a car theme -- Mack Snacks, Chick Hicks' Pretzel Sticks, Fillmore's Fruit Platter, Flo's V8 oil (juice boxes), and Luigi's tire bites (sandwiches). I don't have a picture of it, but the invitation was fun to make too. I designed it like a Car racing event ticket.
I think we had around 18 kids at the house. Unfortunately, the weather outside kept us indoors. It was crowded and a fun mess to clean up (they made their way upstairs to the toys and dress-ups!)
Kids playing with the cars and Radiator Springs Track. We also had drag racing (tracks on a ramp).
Tattoos for the kids.
Tire bean bag toss.
Car Stamps -- press the wheels in the stamp pad and drive it around.
Enjoying good food with friends.
Gavin had a hard time blowing out the candles so we all chipped-in. On his real birthday he wanted a candle in everything he ate and we sang several times. He got really good at blowing out the candles.
A great party and I am glad it's over! Today we relaxed (I got an afternoon nap), played outside (a beautiful, warm day), and opened a few more gifts. He is a happy little boy! Happy Birthday, Gavin. We love you very much!

Trip to the Farm
I'm feelin' crafty!
It's taken me more than a week (kids due take precedence), but they are finally done. I made 4 french boards for the girls' rooms. The one not shown matches the purple with rhinestones at the points. I also made a lot more flower and bow clips for the girls. Here are some close-ups of my accomplishments. What do you think?
