Nolan's party theme choice was obvious: Lightning McQueen. He was so excited for his party and loved coming to the party store with me to pick out decorations. We decided to have a "road rally" party and so everyone brought their vehicle of choice over to a blocked off area of the parking lot and rode around, ate and played. I loved all the cars themed food ideas and we ended up with some cute food options and very easy and kid friendly. Grandma Lorraine make his AMAZING Lightning sugar cookies that were a huge hit and his cupcake cake turned out adorable. We had a station for "Ramone's House of Body Art" where the kids could get streamers and banners for their bikes and temporary tattoos and stickers. We did a race and obstacle course and a piñata. And the cherry on top of the whole thing was his big surprise gift: his own mini RZR. He opened all his presents and then we told him there was one more in dadd'y truck bed and lifted him up to take off the blanket. Off course he wanted to drive it immediately and it was so cute to see him take off driving with a trail of kids behind him.

We went swimming and got snow cones and then had a movie night to finish off the birthday boy's day.
