YAY!! It's Brody's 2nd Birthday! Even though I'm 8 months prego, have pneumonia, and haven't slept in a week - I am still very excited to host this fun party for B!! Even though he will be so quiet and shy, I want him to always know how much we all love and want to celebrate him!! Because he is OBSESSED with anything that has wheels / moves - decided the "transportation theme" was the way to go!
Check out the cutie INVITES :)
The fun "transportation" DECOR started pouring out of me...

It was so worth the 9 hours it took me to make all the decorations -- hehe!! It was a blast and we were so glad that all our family and friends were able to celebrate our favorite little man!!! Happy 2nd Birthday Brody!!

Your parties are so impressive! Especially to me who doesn't have a crafty bone in my body. Your gift bags are a HUGE hit at our house! We went to the grocery store todAy and leah brought her empty bag so she could point to the color on the bag when we passed stop lights.
Hi Lisa,
Everything you made was so clever!
My mom did birthdays like that for me and I will always remember them :)
I especially like the way you made your Taco Train and the Baggage Claim! Super cute :)

I believe that was the last cake your mom ever made. So glad Brody liked it so much.
Dad
What size foil pans did you use for the food spread?
I used the meatloaf foil pans, a little small for taco shells but fit everything else great!!
