Caden's b-day party

This is a belated post. We celebrated Caden's 4th birthday with a friends party. He invited all of his friends from joy school (a preschool rotation with 6 kids from our congregation at church) and two neighbors. Of course, it was a Cars themed party because Caden LOVES Cars. He had a Chick Hicks cake, and lots of Cars games.

This was "McQueen's blown a tire" where the kids tried to pop each others "tires".

All the kiddos playing "Luigi's bean bag toss". Caden was really into it!
We also played "pin the tire on McQueen", "Don't wake the tractor", "Hot rod" (instead of hot potato) and other fun games.

Caden wanted a Chick Hicks cake, but they don't sell Chick Hicks cake pans. So, we used the Lightning McQueen cake pan, and tried to decorate it like Chick Hicks....not too bad!

Of course the highlight of the party is the....presents! Caden was SO excited and all of his friends know him well and bought him Cars things. He was so excited! I love the face of his friend in the red shirt sitting down..."wow!!"Then we ended the party with a little Piston Cup race down the slip 'n slide. We had a blast planning this party for our little boy that is growing up. Everyone had a fun time and we loved letting him share his special day with his friends.
