Silas (Buzz Lightyear) and Cooper (Sheriff Woody) invited their friends over for a combined Toy Story birthday party on Saturday. We threw a big bash to celebrate Silas’s 3rd and Cooper’s 1st birthday. It was happy chaos!

The family room was decorated with clouds to mimic the wallpaper in Andy’s Toy Story bedroom. Each cloud had Cooper’s picture-of-the-month from birth through 11 months. I also made a giant Etch-a-Sketch with birthday wishes for the boys.

Our kitchen became Pizza Planet with pictures of Silas every six months from birth through 3 years. Of course we served pizza for the main course!

In keeping with the theme, we played hot potato to the tune of You’ve Got a Friend in Me. Then each friend had a chance to win a prize from Pizza Planet’s “The Claw” machine. Our last game was pin-the-mustache-on-Mr.-Potato-Head.

Opening presents was a whirlwind as both boys unwrapped new toys, clothes, books, and pajamas. Our friends and family were so thoughtful and generous!

Silas managed to blow out his three candles and Cooper’s candle too. Cooper ate enough cake to make a mess. It’s bittersweet knowing my baby will be turning one on Wednesday.

Happy birthday to our two favorite deputies!
