Happy # 4!

Happy Birthday Carson!! I can't believe he is four! This year he wanted a Buzz party. Same theme as last year. The only difference was this year they had TONS of Toy Story party supplies, toys, and cakes thanks to the new TS 3 coming out. Last year I had to get really creative with things.
I decided to make my house the Pizza Planet. No laughing at my sign :)

Each guest had their own table setting.

I found this awesome pack at Walmart that had all of these fun punch out guys.


I couldn't resist making these cute alien cupcakes!!
I used neon food coloring for the frosting, mentos for the eyes, sour straws for the antenna and "orange" slices that came in different colors for the ears.



Oooooooooooo

I had found this AWESOME Buzz costume at DI a few weeks ago for 3 dollars!! It's from the Disney store and came with boots, wings, and even goggles. Carson had to wear it for his party. His friend Issac came in his Buzz costume and I had a cute cowgirl costume that I also found at DI for 3 dollars (Gymboree) that I had Natalie wear so she could be Jesse.



We played pin the ray button on Buzz.

Bean bag toss

One of my favorite games we played was to see who could build their Mr. potato head the fastest.


Go go!!


Moon man game. I had wrapped up a small Buzz figure with foil over and over. I found some Toy Story tunes online and we played "hot potato" Every time the music stopped, the person holding the Buzz got to unwrap a piece of the foil. The person who got to Buzz first got to take him home.


Present time! Grandma got him a garbage truck from the movie TS 3
Nana and Luis got him toy Story bedding!! Let's just say he was EXCITED to go to be that night.

After all the gifts were opened we had pizza.

I couldn't find a Buzz lightyear pinata so I bought a spaceship and printed off Buzz pictures and glued them on. It was too cold outside to hang the pinata from a tree, so Morgan was the lucky one and got to hold it up with a broom. Good thing we are done having kids lol
This picture is so cool! I took it right as the pinata was breaking.


It's cake time!!

Carson could not blow out the candle for some reason! It seriously took him a good four or five times to finally blow out the candle. And no it wasn't a trick candle. He just couldn't get the air out! You can see Bay in the back trying hard to not blow it out herself.


At the end of the party Morgan and I brought out our big gift for Carson.
He got a new bike!!!
Here he is when he first noticed it.

He couldn't wait to ride it!

He took it for a spin in the living room. After everyone had left we took it outside and he rode it like a pro.


I can't believe my little monkey is four already. Time sure does pass us by. I treasure every moment that we have had together. I can't wait to make many more with my little stud. Happy Birthday Carson Daniel!!!

Isaac loved it too! I would have made sure he had his wings if I would have been home to send him off - oh well. :) And is that a STORE bought cake at the all amazing Melissa Griggs party?! Really. I can't believe it. If it wasn't for those adorable cupcakes I would be sorely disappointed. :)
