JT’s John Deere 2nd Birthday

This is my sweet JT…he was so excited about his JD party! I love celebrating my most precious gift! The party was OH SO MUCH FUN!

IMG_4182  

Most everything (at least decor wise) was handmade by me. My inspiration was this cute customized tee I found at a local children’s store!

I only have two regrets…1. I wish I had fixed my hair before the party (this is why you will see zero pics of me on this post) and 2. I wish I had hired a professional photographer (although most of these were taken by friends/family to whom I am FOREVER grateful…w/o you all I would have no pics at all…thank thank thank you!…However…at least on the ones I did snap…please excuse my camera skills)!

PARTY DETAILS…

We had chickens and a pig for the little ones to pet…  

WHERE to actually FIND chickens and pigs…well, that’s a very long (and very funny) story…

And…of course,rides on “a real JD”…

 

…we played needle in the hay stack… the “needles” were large lollipops and wooden JD tractors!

The main table…

I wish you could see this better…the poster was HUGE…the diaper has a pic of a JD tractor and it says “born to fertilize”!  The other poster was of JT playing in the backyard with one of his tractors…they were both SO SO CUTE! I took the pics of JT and had them blown up at Sam’s Club for around $10 bucks/each! SWEET!

Each bag contained: a homemade cd of tractor songs (label said “thanks for all your hard work on the farm”), a tractor shaped crayon, a tractor shaped soap, a tractor coloring sheet customized with each child’s name…

                

And JD cups…

(sippy cups for the tiny ones) …    

The drink station… we used mason jars and I put plastic punch bowls inside large tins for the sweet tea!

I also made the invitations and thank you notes (no pic of the invite…sorry)

 

OK…so I said no pics of me…well I had to put in this one (after the party JT wanted to read his sign in book)…

So there…I’m not caring what my hair looks like…BECAUSE JT looks so happy in this pic and I LOVE HIM!
