I had my mind set on giving Cayle a fun birthday party, regardless of
the fact that we'd have a newborn in the house. So before Lindy was
born, I started working on Cayle's party. I had wanted to give him a
farm animal party, but that theme fell through. I decided Cayle would
really enjoy a bike themed party since he loves to ride his bike. I
found some items on etsy.com and was able to order party invitations and
other items that matched the theme. We had mac n cheese with wheels
(bike wheels!), pizza logs, fresh fruit, and spinach salad to eat. I
ordered a blank cake from Costco and then decorated it myself. One of
the items I ordered from etsy.com was an iron-on design for shirts, so
Cayle gave that as a party favor to his guests. The weather didn't
fully cooperate, so we had the party in the garage and not the back
yard. (Poor Nick - he spent all that time making the yard look
fantastic!) I had streamers, ribbons, balloons, and name tags for the
kids to use to decorate their bikes. We did get to go on a bike parade
through the neighborhood. Cayle and his friends seemed to have a great
time!
