Here is a classic birthday party theme. Who wouldn't love a real magician at their birthday celebration? Lawson was the lucky birthday boy who got to play magician for the day. What fun! I had a blast making his cake. What would be more appropriate than a rabbit coming out of a top hat. It even included an edible magic wand.
Thanks Jennifer and Leigh Ann for letting me make a cake for Lawson's special day. I'm sure I will be using this party theme sometime in my boy's future!

The big shorts, big shoe relay. 
The pants seemed to always end up on the ground.
Funny pictures to send in thank you notes.
A little hoop action.
The pinata. Tip: don't fill with breakable suckers. It will turn into candy dust after this crew.
Birthday banner made with scrapbook paper.
We decided to offer Ben's favorite concession stand food- pizza, nachos and cheese, and cotton candy.
Fun drink labels.
I ordered the cotton candy online in clear bags and made labels. 
The cake. I thought it might be neat to add some Carolina argyle.
Ben handing out the party favor, a basketball.
Here is Will. He informed me to get some candy. He will give some to his friends, but there is no way he is going to put his name on them or put anything "cute" with it. Just deal with it mom!
