Race Car Party: the set-up

I took a total of 172 pictures yesterday, so yes, this post will have to come in 2 parts (at least)...

Colors were black and white, red, yellow, and green. Cheap (read: free) and easy table covering.

One of the garlands from Jeran. Traffic cones were also a theme.

Jeran's other garland, plus other things she made (we really used every last scrap she sent), and checkered flags we made.

The Cake! It turned out SO cute, and crazy delicious too! 99% of the work done by my mother in law.

Candy-pretzel molds - after Liam knocked the bucket over and all but one of them broke, still cute though!

Stop-light skewers.

The food: hot-dogs with chili, cheese, cole slaw, and fries too. A tail-gate / concessions theme (also one of the few things Liam will eat). Thanks go to my mom for making most of it! And how else would you have your drinks at such a hill-billy event, than in a cooler?

The party favors - and Liam's request, "coo-kies," he didn't even eat any cake.

If you are wanting to do a car / racing themed party - let me know, I've got TONS of stuff you can use!
