Tractor Party

I started planning pinning ideas for Jackson's tractor at the end of January. He had been pretty set on a tractor party since before Christmas. Despite my Dad's love of Oliver tractors (and Jackson's middle name) not John Deere we had a lot of John Deere decorations.

 

Invitations:

Decorations:

Happy Birthday banner welcoming guests outside, John Deere pennant banner inside with yellow and green balloons and favors, barn doors on fire place

Frame with pictures of Jackson on tractors, tractor (pinata) centerpiece, green chevron with tractor banner that I made, tractor cake and cupcakes, more yellow and green balloons

Food:

Farmer Jackson's Mac and Cheese, Pigs in a Blanket, Chicken Feed (popcorn and peanuts), Spare Tires (Thin Mint cookies), Strawberries

Drinks:

Water with wrappers I made, Tractor Fuel (Lemonade)

Birthday boy and Mommy

He was so excited about his party!

Friday night he couldn't sit still, and I didn't think he would sleep.

The bounce house arrived about an hour and half before the party started. Jackson jumped a little bit with Daddy, and then impatiently waited for his friends to arrive.

So glad we decided to rent one. Jackson said it was the best part of his party!

Cake:

Tractor pulling a wagon full of strawberries with a field made by Aunt Midge



Super cute and yummy too!

Jackson loved his cake!

Pinata:

This was Jackson's first experience with pinatas. He was up first and gave it a few good whacks.

His friends got a turn and after about 50 hits the tractor was cracked open.

The kids jumped and jumped, played on the fort and in the sandbox, and played inside. I believe everyone had a wonderful time. As they left Jackson passed out his favors:

Hay bales (yellow and green play dough) and Worms and Dirt (gummy worms and brown peanut M&M's). The tag said "Life is short, eat dirt."

Once all his friends left Jackson opened his presents. Then, we gave him our present. He walked outside and was like, "What!?! A new 4 wheeler!" He hopped right on and gave it a spin. 

Happy 4th Birthday Jackson!

It was a perfect day celebrating our little guy. He was blessed by friends and family and had a great time!
