Construction Party

Here are some pictures from my son's fun 2nd birthday party. We had just moved into a new house so he was obsessed with construction. The park across the street was the perfect location for the kids to dig and dump to their hearts' content!



The invitation said "come dig and play at Caleb's 3rd birthday!" and I asked them to bring their favorite diggers and dump trucks to use in the "gravel pit".



The birthday boy wit his "I love Dirt" shirt. I always try to find or make a shirt to fit the theme of the party.


Because my son is a younger sibling, a lot of his friends have older siblings. I chose to include all of the children so I kept the favors simple. They each got a construction hat, a bucket and a shovel with their name on it.

One of the games involved the daddies...there was a prize buried in the gravel that they had to search for! The kids loved seeing their dads get competitive.

The cake! mt son wanted a digger and a dump truck...I opted for making the digger out of cake and purchasing a dump truck to fill with cake "dirt". It was a hit, he loved it!
