Planning Camden's Paw Patrol 2nd Birthday Party was even MORE fun for me than planning his first birthday party. Maybe it's because I knew he would go crazy over all the Paw Patrol decorations, or maybe it's just because this is how it'll always be with kids birthday parties. Things just keep getting better and better? I can only hope that's the case! Everything turned out exactly how I had envisioned in my head (you know-except for the fact that he had to get stitches in his 3 days prior to the party...), which shocked me a bit because I was SURE I would forget or lose something. We had it at my parents house and about 27 family + friends and their little ones joined us in celebrating our sweet little 2 year old! It was so much fun and Camden was so happy (as every birthday boy should be) the entire time... I bought Cam these adorable Paw Patrol suspenders + bow tie off of Etsy...they were seriously the cutest and he couldn't have looked more handsome, even with that big ole bandaid on his head. He rocked it. So, I knew I wanted one table that was the main "focus" with balloons and streamers as the backdrop. I bought the bone pet bowls from the Dollar Tree and thought it was an adorable idea to serve the food out of them. For the food menu, I decided to do a hot bog bar because it was easy, went with the theme of the party (and was perfect for the kids to eat as well) then we planned the side dishes around that. We had pawsta salad, pawtato chips, fetch sticks, fruit kibble, and pawcakes. Too cute, right? I couldn't resist and if I'm being honest I kinda want to do a Paw Patrol party every year. Anyway, my stepmom always makes the birthday cakes for all the grand kids in our family, but she really knocked it out of the park with this amazing bone cake and adorable cupcakes... All of the decorations tied in together perfectly and I placed pictures of Camden from the past 2 years on some tables... We had a Paw Patrol table for the kids (of course) with Paw Patrol masks, balloons, and blowers that they could play with. The masks were a total hit and were only a couple dollars off of Amazon. All the balloons I also bought off of Amazon here. straight to the face..my kinda style I'm glad he took some time out to hug and kiss his little brother...so sweet. Singing happy birthday to him with everyone was probably my favorite part just because of the look on his face - he was so excited. And when he blew out the candle on his very own? Heart. melted. He was so proud of himself that he immediately started cracking up, it was so cute! (video below) Opening gifts was interesting, though, since his attention span right now at this age is about 2 minutes long. He kept wanting to get up and take breaks, so I ended up doing a lot of the unwrapping, but hey he is loving all his new toys now. Favorites being a big talking Buzz Lightyear (he holds it up and says "and beyond!" ha), all his new Paw Patrol vehicles, cars, a tricycle, new Nike's, etc. (thank you all!) It was such a special day. I really can't believe I have a 2 year old! I'm kinda scared...but mostly happy. Make that very happy. Very happy that I get to be this boy's mama and that he is our son. Happy birthday, Camden! We love you and hope you had the best day ever!

This post contains affiliate links. Thanks for supporting my blog and my family! When Lincoln turned three, it only made sense to have a truck themed birthday party. It was a toss up between firetrucks and monster trucks, but ultimately a firetruck party seemed the perfect choice. The party ended up rescheduled because Addie had pneumonia (it was a long winter), but it was still a great success! And the party was only TWO months ago, so I'm doing better about sharing photos than I did for Addie's owl first birthday party, right? The party favor station was a pretty big hit! The kids loved their dalmatian fire puppies and fire hats! If you're looking for fire Dalmatian puppies, you can check here and here and here. I used a friend's Cricut to make the birthday banner. The firetruck stickers were purchased at Hobby Lobby, on a sheet of random vehicle stickers. The mantel display was my favorite part of the decorations. The little flaming buildings were put together with brown wrapping paper, black cardstock, some basket shred filling, and hot glue. For the flames at the top, I twisted crepe paper in orange, red, and yellow up to the ceiling and held it in place with push pins. I added crepe paper to the fan in the kitchen, above the table display. Not my best party table ever, but it worked. Several things got nixed from the to-do list since Addie was sick for two weeks before the party and I just ran out of hours. However - I again thought the flaming buildings turned out pretty cute, and they made a great backdrop for the cupcakes! Lincoln's firetruck birthday shirt is from Zoey's Attic Personalized Gifts and it was the perfect touch! Read my Zoey's Attic review for more about this great company. Our party food display. I need to work on my baking and especially food coloring skills, but at least the kids seemed to have no problem devouring my less-than-gorgeous "fire" cupcakes. The mini firetrucks doubled as decorations and favors, and went home with Lincoln's guests. I felt pretty good about how it all turned out, even if I didn't get to finish everything I had planned to do. Lincoln had conflicting emotions about the party and went from being excited that everyone was coming over to shouting that no one could come in his house, in the space of about ten seconds. It was...awesome. Or something. Oh, to be three years old! Make sure you have a firefighter outfit on hand for the birthday kid if you go with this theme...it was a big hit for my little guy. My grandpa is always a popular party guest. The kids also enjoyed the less-than-amazing pizza. It was just not a good night for us in the food department. The only structured activity was the DIY Fire Fighter Game - and it was a huge hit! Lincoln was really excited to blow out his candles. He was less sure about sharing the cupcakes with his friends, but there were no serious meltdowns. We had a fun time celebrating with so many friends! And of course, he was pretty excited about opening some birthday gifts. Addie wanted in on the action, too. He was most surprised and excited by the vintage tricycle from my parents and the epic Thomas train set from daddy's parents. Both have been played with as often as possible since the party! Overall, our party turned out really cute and was enjoyed by all! Lincoln asked for days afterward if we could have another firetruck party. I don't know what we'll do for his birthday next year, but I know he'll be even more excited about it. I love planning parties, and it's even more fun when the child is enthusiastic about the planning process!
