Construction and Tractor Party

I let the boys pick out what kind of theme party they want and Sutton told me he wanted a "tractor" party. The word tractor gets used for a lot of stuff around here, and since I am a girl, I call most machines a tractor. However, we did get a really cool book from Gigi & Pops that explains all of the different "tractors" so hopefully I will be able to call them the right names soon! Sutton got a "tractor" for his birthday...it was a combined present from some of his grandparents and us. He LOVES it! And, as you can see, Max loves it too!

















Here is the cake that I homemade...just kidding! Sutton loves "banilla" cake...I love how he says it and I don't correct him :) I love the look on his face....





Sutton, your brother Max got you this present. He picked it out just for you and was so excited to give it to you. You love playing with bubbles and mowing the lawn with dad. So, this is a bubble blowing lawn mower. Max asked me about a month before your birthday if he could get it for you. I loved how he was thinking of you, and what you would want.


We got a pinata that had trucks on it and the kids each got a few chances to take a good whack at it. They had fun. I gave them construction hats to hold the candy in...I thought this picture was so cute because they are just standing there with their hats waiting for the pinata to burst so they can get candy.










Someone finally hit it hard enough, and Greg just started dumping the candy on the ground for the kids. It was like a parade! We had a blast and were so thankful our friends and family could join us!~

That Max is so thoughtful, but I think it's because he hears you all do that same thing-try and make each other feel loved.

I love the tractor story because I am the same way, every "farm" machine is a tractor!

I love the face not only on Sutton in front of the cake, but my boys as well. They look very serious about the "Happy Birthday" song!

Love you guys and we can't wait to see you!
