We spent Saturday celebrating this little guy’s 5th birthday with his favorite things… cars! I love having a theme for a party, but I also like to keep things simple. So, instead of buying Hot Wheels tablecloths, napkins, etc. I bought items that could be reused in the future and adapted them to work with our race car theme.
I also staggered black & white napkins for the look of a checkered flag.
I’m thrilled that Kellogg’s has made Gluten Free Rice Krispies available in Canada now… since I was able to make mini Traffic Lights for him!
And here are the License Plate Thank You’s that I made last week, now attached to the take home gifts!
I hope you had a great weekend! What did you get up to?

Love the Rice Krispies street lights! So creative Rosa 🙂
Sometimes I long for the days when my guys’ eyes would light up with a new Hot Wheels car. That is such a cute stage. He obviously had a great time.
