So today we celebrated his 2nd birthday with a construction themed party. I will apologise in advance about the quality of the photos - I am unhappy with the performance of our new camera - especially outdoors.
I created some ambiance with some construction tape from a local hardware store and printed off some construction site signage pictures from Seton.
I also sewed some of these together to make a bunting decoration.
There were Hard Hats and party favours - little "Authorised Bulldozer Driver" ID tags for each of the kids, which I again made using the customised sign designer on the Seton website.
This is my heirloom to be handmade Happy Birthday banner. I began sewing this over a year ago in preparation for his 1st Birthday. It didn't get done in time for that and then it got shelved in the infamous UFO box. I vowed to finish it before his 2nd birthday. I am really happy with how it turned out and look forward to seeing it through many birthdays to come.
And the finishing touch - the Bulldozer Cake.
Not as complex as it looks - although I did use half a bottle of yellow food colouring and it still wasn't yellow enough. Licorice for the wheels and tracks and honeycomb for the dirt out front.
Happy birthday my little one!
