Campbell’s Birthday Party

We had Campbell’s party on June 9th…about a week after his actual birthday.  I am truly a procrastinator and really didn’t plan AT all for his birthday.  I waited until 2 weeks before and decided that I probably should get something together.  We strictly had family over because I waited so late….I didn’t even have time to get invitations so I had to make them myself…I am telling you, this party was sooo not like me.  I usually have a million ideas of things that I want to do and have this wonderful vision in my head where everything coordinates with the theme..this year there was NONE of that!  I don’t really know why.  I was a tad disappointed in myself and felt a little guilty.  BUT, I have to say that it was probably the most laid back party that we have ever had!  It was easy….our house, family, ordered Hot Rods for supper, ice cream cake and a super one cake…it was just easy. 

The decorations…again it was very easy.  Usually I spend so much time, MONEY, and energy in decorating our house for parties.  This party, I did not.  The theme was supposed to be ORANGE tractors.  BUT, as you can see, most of the tractors…actually all of the tractors…are NOT orange.  I literally sent Trigger into our playroom and told him to collect all of the tractors in there and bring them into the kitchen for me.   A few minutes later I had all the decorations that I needed.  I used burlap that I already had.  The favors were reeses pieces in mason jars.I did make this banner but it did not take long and I used materials that I had in our craft closet.  The picture frames I had already and I just blew up some pictures that I had taken of Campbell on Poppy’s orange tractor.  AND, as far as what we did, we PLAYED.  The cousins (and some of the men..ha!) played outside.  We ate some Hot Rods and then we had some cake.  This is one of his cakes, ice cream cake…the other one was hideous but tasted yummy (from super one…my fav cakes..but I like mine really cold, straight out of the fridge).  Campbell was so funny when we were singing..I think he was a little embarrassed that everyone was looking at him.Mamaw with my little bow head!Poppy and LarkinSeth and JakeVanna and ReidAfter cake, we opened presents.  Guess who tried to take over?!?!?!  Gotta love a big brother!Campbell decided at his party that he would start driving his truck…let’s just say that he drives a little like his momma and is a tad out of control!Trigger, believe it or not is an AWESOME driver.  He will get close to something on purpose and dodge it at the last minute…and he always misses.  He has great control…even though Uncle Seth did not trust his dodging skills.  HA!The party wore this girl out!Guess what…because it was so laid back, I did not get one single pictures of our family…oops!

Happy Birthday to my sweet little Campbell.  I so LOVE that he is my baby boy!!!!  I can’t believe that he is TWO!  CRAZY!!!!!!! 

Now I guess I should start thinking about Trigger’s birthday since it is in a month.  Ha…guess I’ll be winging this one too!!!! :)  That’s the name of the game here lately!
