Our Speed Racer Birthday Party

This month, Jeffrey turned 6 and Sarah turned 13. They had a combined party at Grandmother and Grandfather's house. Jeffrey wanted a Speed racer Party, so Sarah decided that was what he should have.

First she organized decorations. She got out construction paper and had all the boys create cool cars for a centerpiece decoration. The was an apple car complete with lowly worm. There was a shark car, an elephant car, a hand car, an S car, a Christmas Tree car, a flying car, and of course, a Speed Racer car.

Jeffrey dressed like Speed, wearing a blue tee shirt with a red bandana at the neck. The other characters were Trey as Sparky, Bobby as Racer X, William as Spridle, and Rebekah as Chim-chim. John and I were Pop and Mom Racer.

Sarah made a race car cake that looked great! John helped her cut it out and then she decorated it. It even had cookie hubcaps!

Here are the gifts Jeffrey received:
Grandmother and Grandfather - a $25 Barnes and Noble Gift certificate
Grandmommy - two coloring books
Uncle Greg and Aunt Caroline - some Hot Wheels
Aunt Beth and Cousin Laura (for all the Mays) - a Hot Wheel
Mr. and Mrs. Blair - a check for $25 which Jeffrey spent mostly at Build-A-Bear
Sarah - a Speed racer Helmet

Here are the gifts Sarah received:
Grandmother and Grandfather - a $25 Barnes and Noble Gift certificate
Grandmommy - a $25 Barnes and Noble Gift certificate
Uncle Greg and Aunt Caroline - a book about sewing
Aunt Beth and Cousin Laura - a $10 Target Gift card
Mr. and Mrs. Blair - a check for $25 which Jeffrey spent mostly at Build-A-Bear

They also each got a free animal from Build-A-Bear just because they were born he same month as "Bearemy". Jeffrey got a puppy and named it Yo-Ho-Ho Jonny and Sarah got a panda and named it Lee Mae-Hah.

For His birthday dinner, Jeffrey had Stuffed Shells with ice cream with sprinkles and banana for dessert. Sarah had Fettuccine Alfredo for her dinner and Cherry Pie for dessert.

Sarah also got a silver bracelet from Heather, some Littlest Pets from Isabella, and a journal and book from Grace.

It was a nice birthday season! :-D
