Welcome to our Toy Story birthday extravaganza!!!
I took lots of pictures, sorry if it completely bogs down this post. Just had to share all the fabulous things we did to create a very fun 3rd birthday party for Matthew.
Front door:
Coloring Station for the kids. Toy Story coloring sheets- pics on the wall I got online and they are modeled to look like the drawings Andy makes in the movie.
I mean, I had to put a FEW of Matthew's teddy bear pics up! Can't believe how he's grown!
Center piece. Pretty much a box filled with toys, ala the first Toy Story movie when Andy is moving.
Oh yes. We had army men zip lining down from upstairs. Mike then placed army men strategically all over the house.
Some of my decorations. Cut up bandannas, attached to black ribbon, put some Toy Story pics on it. Voila!
Every party needs some games! As Woody says, "there's a snake in my boot!", we had the kids throw plastic snakes into the box. Everyone got a prize (goody bag) after they played, regardless of how many snakes they got into the boot.
Pin the Sheriff badge on Woody. Pretty self-explanatory. (I did blindfold the kids- the concept was a bit lost on the age-group, but still fun!) They got another price to put in the goody bag (toy story bubbles) after playing this one.
The cake!! Oh yes, I made this myself. Oh yes, I'm quite proud. The bottom is a made from scratch chocolate layered with chocolate icing in between; the top is a made from scratch yellow cake; butter cream icing. Can't believe my vision worked AND it tasted delicious!
You'd think I'd have a better picture of the birthday boy, but with all those little ones running around, I'm lucky I got even one. There are lots of him opening presents, playing games and such, but with lots of random kids (and I try not to post pics of kids we don't know too well) so this is what you get. A really close-up, non-smiley photo of my THREE year old.
What a fun party!! We're all tired and worn out (and have a block party to go to in a few hours!), but it was worth it.
Happy Birthday to my sweet, handsome, funny little man, Matthew.
I love you to infinity and beyond!
