Easton's Half Birthday (#2)

Last year we started the tradition of doing a half birthday party for Easton since his birthday is right after Christmas.  It is such a hard time of year to get people together for anything other than holiday parties and I didn't want to lump it together with one of those.  Also, he doesn't really need any other presents at that time and in the summer he would be wanting some new stuff.  Especially with his siblings celebrating right around that time.  We do a little dinner and cake celebration for his actual birthday though, so we are not forgetting it.  If he wants to change this tradition when he gets older we will.

So for his second half birthday he wanted a Cars theme.  This was an easy one to go with considering Cars 2 was about to come out.  We celebrated a little earlier than I usually would(June 12) because I was 36 weeks pregnant and was afraid we wouldn't get to it if we scheduled it for the end of June.  I didn't have a whole lot of energy as it was.  To do something different we had a cookie cake which I decorated with some cars figures we had bought.  Since he is younger he didn't care about playing any games, so it was just a nice family gathering.   Thankfully the weather was much cooler than Kenan's birthday weekend.
