Ezra's wanted to celebrate his birthday in Cars 2 fashion this year. His birthday is actually today, the 13th, but we had his party yesterday afternoon with just a few friends. Strangely enough, all the guests in attendance were folks we knew from somewhere else. The Tanners who we went to church with in Germany, Shelah (and finance Nate with his daughter Kinsley) who I grew up with in Houston, and my cousin from New Mexico. We were blessed they could all join us for Ezra's birthday!
Because of Jonas' allergies, I made the cake and icing.
We had just a few light snacks.
We played a game of beanbag toss or more appropriate for the party, "Toss the beanbag through the race car tire". Here are some highlights.
Then it was time for cake. (That's Nana and Grandpa on the computer in the background. They were attending the party via Skype.)
Shelah reading a story to Judith and Kinsley.
My cousin Marly and her husband Palmer were able to join us. They drove all the way from Denver!
When the guests first arrived, the kids painted these racecars. We forgot to take pictures of the painting action. We had hoped for a back yard race (the kids could wear their cars), but with freezing temps and snow on the ground the weather did not cooperate.
Here's a picture of Ezra modeling his car. We also played "Pin the wheels on Mater" and "Pin the car on the racetrack". 
I think everyone had a good time. I know the birthday boy did!
