A 'To infinity and beyond' birthday!

This past Saturday we had William's 3rd birthday party. He had decided 6 months ago that it was to be a Buzz Lightyear birthday. Since the last Toy Story movie came out several years ago I had to make a lot of the party items myself and make due on a lot.

Here is the centerpiece I made for the table using the space helmet my parents got for William from NASA.
I took William's beach bucket and taped a Buzz I had printed on the computer.

The goodie bags I made using the same internet clip art of Buzz






Thankfully I have an amazing friend here named Joia. She makes delicious cakes and I asked her if she would just make a cake for us and use the little figure Buzz I had gotten from the internet. THIS is what she showed up with! Totally above and beyond anything I expected. She cut the picture of Buzz out and put it on the cake. It was gorgeous and just as tasty.

I made Joia pose with the cake for me.

William was so excited about his party and even sang the birthday song along with everyone.

We rented a jumpy castle from the base. It was a great way to get the kids to burn off a lot of energy outside during the party.

Oh yeah, I mean a great way to get the kids and Matt to burn off energy.

It was a fun party and William was so exhausted after. I think he was sad when it was over. Tomorrow is his actual birthday and his Cici and Papa are here to celebrate with us.
(I know the commentary on this entry is pitiful but I am exhausted after spending the day on Crab Island. so please forgive me)
