Lachlan's 3rd Birthday party

Now that he's 3 and really understands the "party" concept, we decided to throw Lachlan a real party this year.  I suggested a Cars party, and he thought it was a great idea.
Now, I'm kind of the "ideas man" in this operation.  Troy is the "get it done man".  He did such a great job!
We (mostly Troy, though) worked for days making the box cars look just like the movie characters.    We had a race track to go with it.
The party kicked off with a bean bag toss into the tire.
This is where she spent her time.
And this is where the birthday boy spent his time!  He couldn't be bothered playing the bean bag game when Miss Colleen was available for reading.
We convinced them all to get in their cars, at least for a minute.  Lachlan took great care in assigning each friend a character.
These boys were the hardcore racers.
Isaiah traded his car in for some swing time.
After they tired of racing, we headed inside for cake.  We did cake before dinner because it felt too early for pizza.  But it's never too early for cake!  It's pink because that's what he picked.
Love that Corbin was assisting with that candle-blowing!
The rest of the food spread.  There were apple cars, a cucumber car, and a stack of chocolate donuts that looked like tires.
These racecar bears were in the goody bags.
After dinner, it was time for present-opening.  Miss Colleen didn't disappoint with a bag full of dinosaurs!
Of course the little ones had to try out the cars!
I think Lachlan had a great day!  He still talks about his party and his next one!
