Parker's Construction Birthday Party!

Just so you know, there are about a Million pictures in this post... :)

Saturday we had Parker's 2nd birthday party! I had lots of fun planning and throwing this party for him. Parker loves anything construction so it was a fun theme to go with.


(the invitation)


- the welcome sign for our party guests! (he didn't stand at it the whole time :)

- The whole concept was that the guests were hired onto Parker's construction crew. So we had these cute little lunch boxes that the guests filled with their sack lunch...

- chips...
-peanut butter and jelly or ham and cheese sandwiches...

-water and an apple...

- each guest got a hard hat and stickers to decorate it with. plus a ... blower? (not sure what to call them:)

- his dump truck cake (I made it!)

-the cones were the candles

- the big orange cones were drinking cups



-the crew, hard at work :)

- I made everyone wear a hard hat... isn't my grandma cute :)

- I laid out blankets to eat their lunches on

- the birthday boy!
- isn't he the cutest?

-We had a bulldozer pinata
- the kids were super excited to take their turn


-Parker was super excited to find all the treats and put them in his lunch box

- everyone helped Parker blow out his candles with their blowers

- still working...
- opening presents, he was so spoiled :)

-one card had a $20 dollar bill in it and he saw it and hurried and put it in his pocket :)

-his gift from Lance and I

-and there never was a happier birthday boy!!!
