party!

So per Porters request we had a Cars party ( from the Disney movie Cars) We decided to not go too big since he tends to get overwhelmed and long parties are never fun for little kids. So we had a pinata and then cake and ice cream and that's it. Good times had by all, and Porter enjoyed getting lots of cars for presents as well as a mat that has the roads to drive them on.

with his birthday balloons

porter hitting the pinata, he thought this was good fun! we need to get this kid into t-ball! Inside the pinata was smarties, dum dums, cars fruit snacks, hot wheels, and bouncy balls.

This was the cake. Cars theme of course. I had a lot of fun making it. Instead of using black frosting for the road I wanted to use something that was tastier so I decided on chocolate.. :) To make the road i melted down chocolate chips and spread them on the back of a cookie sheet. When they hardened i took it off and gently formed it to the cake. I bought the cars at walmart, and porter was really excited he got to keep them! The stop sign i stole from his train set.. and washed it well first!
