Barrett's BIG Birthday week is over!
He had a playdate party with friends on Monday, took treats to school to celebrate on Tuesday, opened gifts and went to dinner with Mommy and Daddy on Wednesday (his actual birthday), and had a family party on Saturday!
To say he's sad his Birthday week is over would be an understatement.
His favorite thing to do is play with cars, so this year's theme was a no-brainer!
Planning this year's party was the most fun yet. Barrett is at a great age to help!
AND he was such a great helper...really!

Barrett's favorite project!
We worked on "pattern power" making this baby!
blue, gray, orange...repeat...a million times!
My sis-in-law helped make the 'b-a-r-r-e-t-t' tags and cupcake toppers with her Cricut
gray and orange paper straws and cupcake liners from The Bakers Confections on Etsy
(cute, cute, cute stuff for the Bakers out there!!)
Gummy cars from Oriental Trading
They come individually wrapped. Assorted blue, green and red. I just picked out all the blue ones :)
The mommy snack area...
Chow time!
Cupcakes, and since it was morning, I threw in some fruit kabobs-cantelope, blueberries and peaches!

Saturday night family party-opening gifts with Kylie's help!
Barrett had to open gifts first, so after gifts we had taco soup and then treats!

Cookies and a sucker
Sucker from Oriental Trading
(supposed to be a car, but Justin didn't think it looked much like one!)
{party treats}
More sweet treats! Thought these were bright and fun!
Just stuck a popsicle stick in sprinkled donut holes from Walmart Bakery.
We made these Fruity Pebble treats for Barrett to take to school
(recipe here)
They were cute and SWEET! His teacher told me I "really sugared them up"...Ooops!!
I told her I would have made a healthier snack, but it was his birthday!
Another fun Birthday week!
And the very best part of it all...we finally got to host the birthday festivities in our OWN house!
Love you, Barrett Russell!
