Cars Party

A few months ago I started asking Caden what kind of party he wanted for his 4th birthday and he immediately told me a "Jake party." I told him he had that last year, so he had to pick something new. We tossed around a couple of ideas before he excitedly agreed to a "Cars" party. I loved this theme because we often call Caden "Cader-Mater," so we knew this would be the perfect fit for him.  

We had his party on Saturday, April 2nd. To say Caden was excited for his party would be an understatement. We started decorating the basement the night before, and Caden ran around the basement for hours screaming with excitement. 

 We decorated the basement as such:

Birthday poster and balloons. I made this poster and it was by far the most time consuming one to date, but I thought it turned out pretty cute.

 Cars birthday cake

 Drink table with "Rusteez Bumper Ointment" (Root Beer) to drink.

 Luigi's Tower of Tires

 Mater's tow cables.

 "Nuts and Bolts"

 Spare Tires (Mini Oreos)

 And Ramone's House of Body Art (tattoos)

 Cars centerpiece and more balloons.

 Tyler came up with this great idea to make a road leading to the basement. Loved it!

 After Caden's requested pizza for dinner we opened presents. Caden's face in this picture gives you a tiny glimpse into how excited he was.

 Man is this little boy spoiled! He got Spiderman and Fireman Legos, Jake toys, a toy gun, a soccer ball, and a lot of stylin' clothes!

 Love this supportive family of ours! They make the parties so much fun.

 After presents we sang "Happy Birthday" and Caden got to blow out the candle on his cake... okay, so we had to sing and blow out the candle twice because someone didn't know if they recorded it all.

After cake our whole family had a rematch of the kick ball tournament and then played dodge ball. I completely forgot to take pictures, but it was so much fun. Caden holds the record for the longest party. 6 hours... and honestly it would have gone longer but some of our family had a late night movie to get to.

Loved celebrating this handsome little boy's birthday. We love you Cader-Mater!
