Cohen turns 2! Airplane Birthday Party

They party has come and gone and what took me 5 months to plan only took about an hour and a half to throw. I will let the photos tell the story.

Don’t judge me. I know “claim” is spelled wrong. It was fixed. I was having major foggy brain this day. I could barely get out a story! What’s  even funnier is when I asked Matt to look at that sign he said “Ba-gauge?” I said , “no, baggage is spelled correctly”… spelling it’s our homes strong point.

These are the goody bags

Present table aka “Checked-Baggage”

Airplanes in the entry

Time zone wall and directions to the restroom.

Map banners

“Come Fly Away” banner

The signs that got staked into the yard (forgot to take photos =(

One reads Cohen Airlines the other reads Terminal C

We converted half of the garage  into a room. We hung light blue plastic table cloths from the dollar store and I cut out and taped white clouds to them. I ran more airplanes on fishing wire from one side of the room to the other and then added crape paper and balloons.

I am really sad I didn’t get a photo with all the food on the table. We had cute little mini sandwiches my mom made and nachos (which are always a hit)

The tables were lined with more maps. We had a lot of maps already from Matt’s military days and and then picked up a lot of city maps from the thrift store for $.25 each.

Another view of the garage with the happy birthday cloud banner. This room was the big hang out. Who doesn’t love to be around food?

Glider airplane anyone???

Airplane propeller pops

And our little pilot, complete with his costume.

The party was great and Cohen got some really cool gifts and at almost a week later, we are still trying to get our house back in order!!  It was tiring but so cute.

I have come to realize that I need to no worry about the small things, like airplane cut cheese or airplane cut cookies. Chances are they will be left in the fridge and forgotten about and all those hours of hard work are wasted.
