Cars themed Birthday

I am a little late posting Ryden's third Birthday Party but better late than never right.  We went with a cars themed party this year considering it's his favorite movie at the moment. The day of the party was a little disappointing as I had to call all of his friends and let them know that Violet woke up with a rash which appeared to be chicken pox. This resulted in a birthday with only adults and a few cousins but it was still a ton of fun.  The funny part to this story is when I took Violet to the doctor the next day he informed me her rash was from something she ate and would clear up within a day or two. Can you say FALSE ALARM...... oh well.  The cars in the pictures where homemade by the hubby and I. I got the idea from http://howdoesshe.com  with a DYI tutorial.  I LoVe homemade party decor, hope you enjoy some of the ideas.

Ready to race.

The winner gets the PISTON CUP.
