KA~CHOW!! Westynn turned 3! {DECOR}

How can it be that my BABY turned 3?!!

I am just certain that this

JUST HAPPENED!!

Nevertheless, he insisted on having a birthday. I debated between having a sports themed party and a Lightnning McQueen party. There were several considerations: 1) I am not a big fan of character parties {but I do adore Lightning almost as much as West!} 2) He probably will continue to love sports longer than he will love L.Q. 3) How on earth do you decorate for a Cars themed party?

The first thing you do is get on Pinterest and find some good ideas...

{This cake was one of the most labor intensive cakes I have done so far! Two and a half hours of back breaking LOVE went into that cake. And for the first time, I followed the directions that came with the pan!! Usually I just look at the picture and wing it...not this time!}

{The fun began from the moment our guests arrived with tires and racing pennants!}
