To say that this little man is spoiled with love is quite an understatement! Race Car Birthday

Aunnie brought him over some singing balloons the night of his actual birthday and they became his new favorite item. Almost as bad as the drum set he got last year from Meme except at least balloons pop (love you Aunnie)! Haha! Race Car Birthday

I decorated the night before which made my life MUCH easier come Saturday morning.

I had balloons, orange cones, race car flag banners, and plastic race car helmets. Race Car Birthday

I ended up loving the race car theme.

Especially after I saw the cake… Race Car Birthday Cake

Cute little treat bags for the guests. Race Car Birthday Treat Bags

By the way…can I just say a HUGE THANK YOU to all the friends and family who came and helped us celebrate!!!!

We had 73 people at his party!

It was madness! But oh so fun!

These two are VERY loved. Race Car Birthday

I was trying to get a pic of them in their matching shirts…but as you can see I only had one that would cooperate. Bents shirt said 0.5. hehe!

Race Car Birthday We rented this GIANT SLIP N SLIDE that was the hit of the party!

If you ever have the chance to rent something like this….DO IT! I didn’t have to bust out any of my lame games.

The kids pretty much were occupied the ENTIRE day!

We rented ours from Inflatable Fun. Check out their website…they have TONS of bouncy’s. Race Car Birthday

As you can see…it wasn’t just for the kids. Race Car Birthday

A certain someone else was the first to try it out. Yea. I have 3 kids that live at my house.

Our sweet neighbors brought over this… Race Car Birthday

…which was also a hit!

And the adults decided to partake in some slip-n-slide racing. Fits the “race” theme right? Race Car Birthday

My dad and I racing. I beat him the first time, but he beat me the second time. ERRR. Race Car Birthday

I think it’s clear who won this race. Gawd I hate losing. Especially to my husband.

P Man wouldn’t get on the slip-n-slide until all the kids left. Go figure. But once he got on it…he loved it! Race Car Birthday

He was so embarrassed when we all started singing to him. I love his embarrassed face. Hand.Over.The.Mouth. Race Car Birthday

And look at all of these cool gifts he got! I need a second playroom. Race Car Birthday

Claire Bear was here, and of course, her and P were flirting on the couch. Just the usual. Race Car Birthday

The party was a success! I can’t believe my P is THREE!

We had a great time! Totally worth the trip. Claire not only got her P fix, but also expects nothing less than water park slides for future b-day parties!

The decorations are adorable! It looks like everyone had a blast! I can empathize with the difficult party theme…. Jack had a construction-themed party this year. That was a little challenging for me too. But you did a fantastic job!! Too cute!!
