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!

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…

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!
