We had a big weekend around here and we’ve got a big week coming up! First, today is Maxwell’s first day of school! Let’s hope he does great in his new older toddlers room with his new teacher! Second, Maxwell’s 2nd birthday is on Thursday so lots of fun birthday posts to come this week! Third, we celebrated Maxwell’s birthday on Sunday with a family party centered around – what else – yellow construction trucks!!
Here’s the invite I emailed to family…
And here’s my sweet birthday boy ready for his party!! Boo-boos on his chin, knee and shin and all! My rough and tumble little 2 year old! 🙂
I got his shirt off of Etsy and it came in about two weeks ago and Maxwell has been SO excited to wear it! Every day he would want to peek into his closet at his truck shirt…but he knew it was off-limits until his party! He couldn’t wait to put it on that morning!!
Like last year, I had to make things festive and I like a good theme to center the decorations – some yellow construction hats, orange cones and plenty of balloons of course!
I even got some special eating utensils for Maxwell…
So cute, right?! I think he might be eating every meal with those for a while! I did forget to hang the awesome “Happy Birthday” banner though! darn! remind me to hang it next year, ok?
We gave Maxwell this truck that morning and it barely left his hands all day…
and the proof is in plenty of the pictures!
The only thing that took him away from his truck were the balloons of course!
He was a happy little boy!
We loved having most of our family over but definitely missed Mary Beth, Holland, Keath, Jen, Delaney and Nate!
Before lunch, we had one more surprise for Maxwell…
A bounce house! Those 3 cousins bounced and bounced and bounced in that hot sun…
until they were red-cheeked and ready to eat!
When it came time for lunch, fortunately everyone got into the hat wearing spirit! What can I say? I definitely think hats make a party more fun! 🙂
But the Birthday Boy looked cutest of all in his hat, of course!
I think that’s enough for today. Party coverage continues tomorrow! Until then, I leave you with this awesome family photo that we captured…
ha! Hey, it was his party – he could do what he wanted!! 🙂 See you tomorrow!
It was a great day – fun was had by everybody! The yellow truck was a huge hit and Maxwell was adorable in his truck shirt!
Great party Stephanie, you deserve a huge round of applause for all of your hard work. Thank you everyone for coming and making another great memory in our house for our sweet boy.
Looks like a great birthday party!! Lots of fun!
Hi there! Love your page!! My nephew, Maxwell, is turning two next week! I was browsing for some ideas and came across your page. Coincidently, my nephew loves construction trucks too!
