Hudson’s Construction Truck Party

Over the weekend we kept the 3rd birthday celebration going by throwing Hudson a little party, construction truck style.

Best theme ever. We had lots of trucks to use as decorations and my truck loving boy was in heaven!

See what I mean?

We had the party at a local park and splash pad….it was WAY too cold for the splash pad, but the kids had a blast at the park! And it was a little too windy to put up the birthday banner…so naturally I had to re-create a few of the photos above for you. #bloggerlife

For the favors, each kid got a little truck and some candy….yes, we had trucks everywhere.

The favors turned out so cute and were a BIG hit with the kids! Even the girls loved them! And the birthday boy might have wanted to keep them all.

My mom and I made cupcakes and topped them with crushed oreos to look like dirt. I decorated the tables with all of Hudson’s trucks…which of course ended up being played with by all the kids. Such a fun and easy party!

We didn’t tell Hudson about his party, so when my in-laws arrived with him he was so surprised! He couldn’t believe it was all for him. It was such a fun day celebrating our big boy! And afterward, mama was tired. Not going to lie…having the party at a park and coming home to a clean house was kind of amazing.

    What a fun theme, and you did an amazing job with everything!!! We have had Cam's last two parties not-at-home, and it's amazing. It's kind of a hassle to lug everything, but not having to clean is worth it!! GREAT JOB!

    What a fun theme!!!! He seriously looks SO happy to see all his trucks at his party! And those cupcakes look (and sound!) delicious. You can never go wrong with smashed oreos on top!
