Party pics!

Here are some party pics in random order...I quickly edited them so I could post (most still need lots more work.) Oh and a HUGE THANK YOU to Susan (my mother-in-law) and Bill (my father-in-law) for traveling 4 hours just for the party...they left afterwards. Without her the food wouldn't have been served, the watermelon wouldn't have been cut, mac n cheese not cooked, and she even cleaned up all the food. Thanks to Bill for cooking the hamburgers and hot dogs and for helping my Bill move things around before the party and take down afterwards. We are so BLESSED to have such wonderful parents to help make P's party run so smoothly. Many, many thank yous to you guys. You really don't know how appreciative we are for everything you both did. Love you guys!
Family pic. I appliqued racing flags on the back of our shirts and I put crew chief on the front of P's. And no I didn't lose the battle with a razor on my leg. I just got in a fight with a piece of wood at Home Depot...I lost!

The pinata was pretty cool...you pull the strings and only 1 opens it up. Less casualities that way I guess. LOL



I made the cake. Yep I made it...although it almost didn't make it because well I have a temper and things just weren't going my way while decorating it. LOL but it survived. I did the top and Bill did the sides...I have to say his stars were way better than mine. I told him if he ever needs a job he'll have one as a cake decorator. I've also gave him the cake job for the next umm 18 years or so for they boys. Turned out well and it was SUPER YUMMY!
The monster truck bouncy was a hit with the kids.

P racing.
These are the race cars I made out of boxes...so much fun, for me and the kids.

Go Mom! What a great party that you created for your little man. You went all out, and I know how rewarding it all is at the end of the day. (yes, we say we won't do it again next year...but we always do! Because we love them so much that we want the very best for them.) The memories you are creating for him now will last him a lifetime...and you gave him lots of great memories with this party!
