Cohen’s Birthday Party

My little guy is 3! I can hardly believe it. I have loved every minute of being his mommy. He is so happy and bright. And such a good boy. Very deserving of a Car-Themed Party! He LOVES everything that moves. Trains, airplanes, jets and cars!

Happy Birthday Buddy!

All of these photographs were taken my an ‘up and coming’ very talented photographer, my sister-in-law Elise. [Thanks Elise!!!]

My 3 year old boy!

These cupcake toppers from Layer Cake Shop were my inspiration for the party. I originally saw them on Party Perfect, but the company that sold them was sadly going out of biz. You can imagine my excitement when I found them at Layer Cake Shop, along with a slew of other cute items, like the brown and white striped cupcake wrappers that these were made in.

The food: Polish Sausage and Hot Rod Hot Dogs, watermelon, corn and coleslaw from the garden, chips and my mother-in-law’s yummy pasta salad.

I had two stations where the kids could make steering wheels and personalized license plates.

We had hot wheels races on a homemade car ramp.

And what party is complete without chickens? Party animals.

A good old-fashioned game of red light/green light was a hit!

We made an obstacle course where each child had to visit Cohen’s Gas Station, Auto Repair, Car Wash and pass the driving test. They had a blast!

My mom made her yummy mayonnaise chocolate cupcakes with fluffy frosting. Sounds gross, but they are oh so good!
