Racecar Birthday Party

I can’t believe my baby is 2! It truly feels as though his first birthday party was yesterday.

A couple weeks ago, we threw him a little racecar-themed get-together with some of his friends, family, and classmates. The weather was beautiful and everyone, especially the birthday boy, had a great time!

We set up a little area on the back patio under the arbor, complete with miniature tables and chairs for all the little ones to sit in. We had party trays from Chick-fil-A, applesauce pouches, juice boxes, brownies, and a Lightning McQueen cake! Here are some more pictures if you’d like to see all the details!
