Racecars and Rainbows

This past weekend we hosted Rett and Ellie's birthday party at The Little Gym...one of their favorite places. The party was a little early (about 3 weeks before their real birthdays) because we are only a week away from having another baby and the thought of hosting their birthday party just after having a baby was too overwhelming.
The theme was Racecars and Rainbows. I brainstormed many different themes that would suit a joint party for a boy and a girl: Ladybugs and Lizards, Pirates and Princesses...but Racecars and Rainbows seemed to suit their personalities/interests best.

I am a sucker for themed parties...here's what I did:
The invitation: *a sweet lady on Etsy designed it for me.*

Boys party favor:

Girls Party Favor (a rainbow hairclip that matched the ones in Ellie's pigtails)

The table setting: a blend of racecar check and rainbow snacks

In an effort to feed the kids non-messy food I served a rainbow fruit kabob, rainbow goldfish, and a M&M cookie. The fruit was the biggest hit with the kids!


Before we left for the party; where I knew it would be IMPOSSIBLE to get a good picture of the two of them!



And, Rett asked me to take this one:

The staff was so entertaining and the kids all had alot of fun. Here are a few pictures to commemorate the event:

It's still so hard to believe that they are going to turn FOUR and TWO in a few weeks! Where has the time gone?
