Max's Toy Story Birthday Party

My little guy turned 4 this last week! We had a little party with his buddies at our house. He asked for a Toy Story cake & I had something in mind like this:

But life with a newborn has made me pretty wussy when it comes to all-nighters so I had to be okay with something a bit more scaled back. Here is what I came up with for him:

He didn't seem disappointed so I was good & quite proud of myself with being okay with making something that wasn't up to my usual standard. I also came up with these cute favor boxes.

I got the green boxes at Michaels, bought craft paper to match to make the ears & googly eyes (both hot glued on), drew the mouths on with a sharpie and hot glued on a pipe cleaner and pom pom antenna.

Love these girls!
Pinata was a "hit" :) haha I couldn't resist

present time!
Happy Birthday Max! Mommy loves you!

I will never throw that alien box away! You put so much effort into that, it should be showcased!

What a rad looking birthday party! I think the fact you made a cake (and an awesome one at that) at all with a new born is a tremendous feat! Good on you!
