For the family party for Adam's 3rd birthday we put together a Toy Story party. I had a lot of fun on Pinterest finding ideas and this is what we came up with.
Ham and Little Green Alien for the cupcakes. My mom and I put them together on Saturday ( the party was on Sunday) and had fun decorating together. While I don't always feel the most talented at crafty things I have fun trying and I think my stuff is starting to look a lot better than it used to!
I also had a blast putting the decorations together. I found a pack of green army men for cheap and made sure that they were around where the presents would be kept. And I had to have them repelling down something....
And I loved putting the baby monitor in the plant with the army men. I'm not sure anyone really noticed nut I sure got a kick out of it.
The front door. I found some links on Pinterest to some print outs and had fun putting them around.
We got Adam these Toy Story characters for his birthday. We let him open them early so that we could use them to decorate for the party! He wasn't complaining about that.
The cake stand.
Drinks....with some friends at the bottom.
Our Pizza Planet buffet. There is a Toy Story balloon up there too but it got a little cut out of this picture. I made home made pizza and got there early to get started on it. We ate first so I had a pizza ready as people were supposed to get there, the ones for the kids, and then had two more in the oven. Even with just my siblings that are in Utah we are turning into a pretty big group so we made a lot of pizza. We also did fruit pizzas with sugar cookie dough and just some fresh fruit. The family brought a pasta salad and chips.
We played There's a Snake in my Boot with little plastic snakes and a tin can with a boot on it. The kids had a blast throwing them in.
The piñata was another big hit!
And who doesn't love presents?
Blowing out his candle
And a little out of order but another piñata picture. The kids always love going for the candy and then destroying the rest of the piñata after.
There. Now I have finally put up his birthday pictures, even if he is closer to 3.5 now and getting ready to start preschool in a month...I will catch up, I'm working on it and maybe someday I will even stay caught up!
