We chose a theme that is close to Jasper's heart: Trucks! Erica went out before the party to purchase some party supplies, and that included these helmets worn by Jasper's cousins Karin and Linnea.
In an effort to create some fun for all, we created a race track that used a card table combined with a counter mat to form a ramp. The cars were released behind the upper blue line and raced to the finish. Jasper raced every time against each member of the family ... and he won most of the races.
After the racing concluded, Jasper went into the living room to open his gifts. As you look at the large boxes spread before him, remember that we are in Michigan when these photos were taken. Fortunately, Jasper has a kind Nana and Papa who shipped a box to Austin.
Jasper's cousins were very willing to help Jasper open gifts.
Now that is the picture of excitement!
Jasper received a dump truck, and you can see the excitement in his eyes.(I thought about getting rid of the red-eye, but you loose something when you do.)

Here is the entire gathering and a view of the decorations as well.
The cake was awesome! It included a road, a dump truck filled with icing boulders, and excavator, a stop sign, and couple of additional cars. Jasper just wanted to touch it.
Here you see Jasper reaching for the dump truck from the cake. After cutting the cake, Jasper received a piece of cake with one of his favorites, strawberry ice cream. To our surprise, he tried and liked the cake!
Benjamin didn't quite get into the festivities, but Jasper had a blast!
