A McQueen of A Birthday

First of all, we can hardly believe our baby is already two years old! But I suppose we'll feel this way every time August 6th rolls around...

Second of all, Isaac's favorite thing right now is... yep, you guessed it - the movie Cars. So for this birthday... we went Lightning McQueen crazy. From the balloons to the cake to the movie playing in the background, Isaac loved it all! He even got to wear a special new birthday t-shirt featuring the the famous red race car.


The kids had a blast... this was my attempt at getting a group picture.

My Lightning McQueen cake! Chocolate cake, with sliced fresh strawberries between layers, iced with homemade buttercream frosting. As long as Isaac could recognize the main character, I was happy.
We had a house full of friends to celebrate with us!

And the grand finale of the party was Isaac's very own truck! Thank you Noni and Papa!
Needless to say, it was a popular item!
Eventually all of the kids got to take turns driving and riding. Isaac did a great job of sharing!
We could hardly get Isaac to sit still long enough to snap a family photo. I guess that's a good sign right? There was just too much fun to be had!!
What a great day.
