Toy Story Birthday Party

For the girls birthdays we have a family dinner on their actual birthday and a party later with their friends. This year we did Taylor and Addison's birthday parties together b/c they both wanted a Toy Story theme. Taylor turned 4 on July 13th and Addison turns 3 on August 9th. So we had their party in between their birthdays.

I recently got a cricut :) my new best friend. So I made their decorations. Please forgive the photos b/c I totally forgot to take pics of the decorations until after the party and I had taken some down.... URGH! Oh well better late than never!

Here are the cupcakes, well whats left over LOL. I made the cupcake toppers. I asked the girls which character they wanted for their party. They LOVE Jessie but the chose some of the other characters too.

Birthday banner I made. It actually turned out tooo big. I wanted it hanging on the mantle... Oh well. Mostly everything I made and planned didn't turn out the way that I thought... but it did all come together nice.



I used the girls Toy Story toys for the decor as well... Here are Woody, Buzz and Jessie hanging out on the table.
The mantle not what I planned but had to go with plan B.

Daddy and Payton and one of the birthday girls, Addy.


Here is Taylor. I made each of the girls a bow with Jessie on it. They loved them! I also bought Taylor and Addison matching Jessie shirts and Jessie flip flops.

Payton showing off her Toy Story tattoos. Each kid got a tattoo when the arrived to the party.


Addy picking out her tattoo. See her flip flops :) sooo cute!

I had Toy Story coloring sheets for the kids to color. And then we played a game that I made up to go along with the Toy Story theme... Each child got a potato head and we put all the pieces in the middle of the circle and see who can make the silliest potato head. It was cute and the kids loved it! By the way I bought all the potato heads on craigslist for $5! Score!

Lots of Potato Head pics but I couldn't resist the kids were so cute and very proud of what they made. :) Next was Pin the Tail on Bullseye. Taylor of course didn't want to play. Here she is with her Daddy's help.

Dustin cracked me up playing this game. He is moving the blind fold so that he could see where to put Bullseyes tail! lol


Charlie playing the game.


Sweet Birthday girl


Daddy and the Birthday girls (best pic I could get)


Presents... Taylor was so sweet. She came up to me after all the games were done. "Mommy, may I please open my presnets?" They had a great time!


They each got these cute Toy Story coloring things.



I love this picture of Addy. She is ready for that cupcake.

Ok... Taylor oh my dear sweet Taylor... She doesn't like cupcakes (or anything choclate and sweet besides sugar cookies) I know! Weird... anywho but she didn't like having "Happy Birthday" sang to her either. I think being the center of attention... ??? Who really knows. So that is why she is in Nathan's lap with that look on her face.

Taylor didn't want to blow out her candle and said that she wanted Addy to do it for her. (We talked about this before hand) And of course Addy is all over it!

Addy blowing her candle out.

Payton could not wait for her cupcake... she kept asking me for one. She really enjoyed it too! :)


This is how she ate it! LOL

Sweet Taylor
