Three's a breeze

Sunrise is lucky enough to live next to 2 buddies.  And these two friends are who he wanted to come to his birthday party.  He loves his friends and he loves cars, so we combined them!  
He thought tradition was overrated and just opened the presents as soon as they arrived.
When the two boys came over, everyone got to color some pages from the movie Cars, and then we watched a cute DVD called Mater's Tall Tales.  It's a collection of short stories about Mater and Lightning McQueen.
Then we were off to make real cars!  Each buddy had an older helper.  The night before the older kids and I had spray painted these boxes and glued on the wheels.  We put in ribbon handles on the inside of each side.  The buddies got to decorate with stickers and markers.
Then it was off to the race track! The cars were a little hard for them to figure out at first, but they got the hang of it.
Then it was time for cake! I saw a cake on Pinterest here and adapted it a bit to make it perfect for Sunrise.
Everyone had fun and Sunrise was in Cars heaven!
