Benjamin and Ethan's Birthday Party

Last weekend we had a big birthday party for Benjamin and Ethan. We had lots of friends (19 kids and a grand total of 42 people), fun crafts, great weather and snacks. The boys wanted a race car theme and we had race car stuff everywhere!

Here is the sidewalk up to the house:

The "Pit Stop" had checkered-flag Chex Mix, stop-light rice krispie treats, juice (fuel) or water (coolant).

Everyone got a Pit Pass and a race car tattoo at the Registration table.

The tags for the goodie bags:

We colored race car pages and made license plates for our bikes or big wheels.

The cake had a drag strip on it and race cars. Benjamin loved blowing out the candle. Ethan took his time!

Lots of new stuff:

The most talked about gift was the bikes that Papaw gave the boys:

Ethan felt safer starting to ride in the grass -- though it was very hard to peddle.

The boys also got a large (they can both fit in it) cardboard castle to color, Buzz and Woody, a race track, gym bags for their soccer stuff, books, money, race cars, and some outdoor summer toys. It's like Christmas all over again! The boys had so much fun having all their friends over for the party -- Ethan asked me if we could have another party next weekend!
