Ready for Takeoff!

We have a super busy day getting ready for parties and I don't have time to do a long post, but I thought I would share some pictures of the party I did for my very own 'lil boy's birthday yesterday. He has an infatuation with planes right now so we did a "ready for takeoff" party. I need to "take off" now to take care of other parties, but I hope you all enjoy the pics below! Be back Monday!
PS - yes, that airplane suspended in the air is a cake!

    You're officially a SuperMom in my book. How do you find the time? What a terrific looking (and I'll bet, tasting) party! I'm curious how far in advance you set about planning and ordering items for your parties.

    Thanks for all you do!

    Absolutely adorable! Usually the girls get all the cute ideas! I love when the boys get some action. We have gone back and forth from MN and overseas for the past 7 years so I love travel themes. My son turns 2 in March and I want to incorporate a few ideas into my around the world theme!
