Lincoln's 3rd Birthday - Race Car Party

Check out the latest 3 posts!

For his third birthday, I really wanted to have it at a place and not our house.  I thought about going to this bounce house place that close to the mall but when I started to plan I found out it was closed.  From there I got it in my mind that his birthday had to have a bounce house involved no matter what we did.  Well then I had Kennedy and all party plans went out of my mind.  So it felt like last minute that I had to decide what to do for Lincoln's party.  He has been into cars lately so a Race Car Party it was!

I did a lot of looking around on other blogs for some good ideas and his party became a culmination of those ideas with a sprinkle of my own!  All in all it was a great party for being thrown together last minute and best of all Lincoln loved it.

My favorite item of the party was his cake!  I loved the look of real grass and highway on the top.  His name coming out like the Hollywood sign just made it perfect. 'Happy Birthday Lincoln!'

More pictures of the cake, like I said I love it!



Cake table all set up!


We also had bundtinis for the kids on the go...chocolate chip and lemon, yum!



Race flag cookies were the best.

The food table.



The main event.  Craig pointed out that no matter what games you plan to play at a party, if you have a bounce house that is all they will want to do and he was right.  This thing was huge!  It was a bounce/boxing ring/basketball/slide house.  It was the best!

More decorations, the banner I made that says Lincoln Is Three with the roof of an MR2 Spider in the background.  The part was from an old car Craig's dad was restoring.


Our "stolen" hubcaps.  Everyone kept asking if we took them off someones car, haha!


Lincoln loved the bounce house so much!




"I'm Three"


Kennedy was such a good girl and got to hang out with all her grandparents!


Lots of friends!

Craig made a racetrack for all the kids and we gave cars as the party gifts for them to race down the track.  It was a hit!

Niki, Maria and Brian enjoying the beautiful day!

Miss Ella Resse and her new walking skills!



Boston just turned 3 as well!

Time for cake!

Present time, yipee!


He got a lot of cool stuff including this bike and an Art Easel and an Easy Bake oven from all his grandparents!















He had a wonderful birthday and really understood it this year which was way fun.  He keeps asking if it is his birthday everyday we gets home and wants his bounce house back.  Happy Birthday Big Boy!
