"Two" Wheelin' Leo!

hello, Dudes!
this is so fun!!!

cake #1--dirt bike mountain scene

So I like themed cakes, but I also like cakes that look good and if you didn't know, I'm seriously the world's worst froster! I make good tasting cakes, but they look terrible, really. So, I ordered from Costco (love them!) and decorated them myself. I was actually sort of impressed with myself, if I can toot toot away! (and Kathleen, Queen of Cakes, I expect you to be impressed too ;)

cake #2--riding through the countryside cake

incidentally cake 1 looked a little neater, but hey, I do what I can and I did include ducks!

Leo got his party started with some bubble action...he started pretty early so we thought it best to dress down so not to ruin his party outfit

adorable or what?!

I tried to get Leo to pose with Uncle Stacy and their matching bikes, but he was too busy, luckily Sophia volunteered! ;)

Sadly, this picture does not show my tattoo sleeve arm, what was I thinking, we should have switched sides!

biker chicks!

ready to make a wish!

okay, this was just cute...he was blowing at the cake, not exactly on the candles...Sophia eventually had to step in and help

opening presents was mostly a solo job for Mommy but he came round when he saw something he liked...balls and trucks!

Leo's party was a big success! We got him a Power Wheels Motorcycle, which we anticipated would be the big hit of the party. Luckily Jodie and gang let us borrow their PW Jeep so at least there were two driving options! While we're in the car Leo loves to see motorcycles, he gets so excited each time he sees one. Even when we're just playing outside if he hears a motorcycle from afar he will lift his head and look around...he's obsessed...already! ;) So, the idea for a party was born!

Our craft station was "be a biker" which included mustaches (a huge hit by the way, with everyone), decorate your own biker bandanna, and of course...tattoos!

The kids played like crazy, we had tons of food, inspired by the bar scene so the menu included chicken wings, spinach artichoke dip and fried mozzarella sticks. I had a milk bar so the kids could sample chocolate, strawberry, root beer, and banana milk, and of course, tubs of ice cold beer for the grown ups!

Leo was exhausted but clearly had a fantastic time and hasn't stopped playing with all the wonderful presents!
