Airplane Birthday Party Photos – II

Posted on Sunday, April 26th, 2009

I went back and forth about the cake. I didn’t know if I wanted to go with cake or cupcakes. I couldn’t decide…so I went with both! Dan and I made the cake topper airplane out of Crayola Model Magic. Derek loved seeing the airplane on everything. He would get so excited every time he saw it. For the cupcakes, I added flags. Some with the airplane graphic and the others with his age, 2.

Aww, I love the picture of him blowing out his candles.  Such a big boy!

I probably got a little carried away with the airplane theme.  I decided to serve the guests, pre-packaged lunches.

The kids had a great time playing with all the toys Derek received.

Thank you to everyone that helped us celebrate Derek’s birthday!

Party Photos – Part I

Posted on Sunday, April 26th, 2009

After what seemed like months of planning, the party is already over.  The inspiration for the party came from the invitations.

Hard to believe he is already two! For the goodies bags,  I painted a Cheerios box brown, I then cut two pieces of brown paper into the shape of a suitcase and attached one to either side.  To dress it up a bit, I used two stripes of yellow cardstock and travel stickers. I think they turned out pretty good.  The adults were also sent home with a goodie bag, chocolate chip cookies….YUM!

I have tons more pictures to sort through.  I will have to show you those in a separate post.

Airplane Theme Birthday Party Invitations

Posted on Friday, March 20th, 2009

Since these invitations haven’t been mailed yet, I shouldn’t be posting this. But, I can’t resist!! Thanks to the suggestion of my mom, I decided to go with an airplane theme for my son’s second birthday. I am so excited! Here is the invitation I designed. It has the look of an actual boarding pass, just a little cuter! I had trouble finding envelopes, so I decided to make my own! As much as I hated ruining the atlas, I think they turned out great! His birthday isn’t until the end up April, but after that I will have tons of pictures. So check back! If you are interested in purchasing these, click here.
