Airplane Themed 2nd Birthday Party.

We celebrated Huxley turning two, airplane style! He loves to watch the airplanes fly over our house outside, and always points up to the sky.

Without furtherado…

Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Mandy and I am your chief flight attendant. On behalf of Captain Huxley and the entire crew, welcome aboard Flight 002 with nonstop service to Cincinnati, OH. Our flight time will be 2 hours and 2 minutes. We will be flying at an altitude of 2,222 feet at a ground speed of 222 miles per hour.

At this time, make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in their full upright position, and your seat belt is securely fastened. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

The invitations were made from a website (that I can’t seem to find), I found where it was an instant download! Super easy and went perfectly with the airplane theme!

As you walk into our house, I did a chalkboard sign, and a sign on the front door. I am all about the signs!

In our family room, we put two giant inflatable airplanes on our mantle. And then hung streamers with a banner saying, “Huxley Airlines, and TWO.” On the counter area that connects our family room to the kitchen, I put miniature airplanes that each came with their own runway.

In the kitchen, we hung a smaller inflatable airplane from the chandelier. I failed to take photos of all of the food, but we made individually wrapped sandwiches, turkey or ham, and with all the sides. Homemade PB&J crustables for the kids. We had a variety of individual bags of chips, and almonds. To really get the feel of eating on an airplane!

In the living room, we had tables set up with airplane tablecloths! And more banners and signs! On the bar cart, we had water and pop. I made a little mini airplane and put Huxley’s head on it in Photoshop! Hadley loved this one the best!

As you walk into our office area, we hung more inflatable airplanes which I have to give props to my husband Kevin for figuring out how to hang them, so they weren’t lop sided! Inside one of our suitcases, I put all the goodie bags for the kids inside! I failed to take photos of all of the goodies inside the bags, but inside was a mini airplane pop-it, a luggage tag I personalized to each kid, and mini chocolate earth balls. The sweets were on the smaller office table, cupcakes, brownies, and tootsie roll pops that had propellers around each one. For Huxley, I just gave him one cupcake because I knew he wouldn’t really eat it.

The kids played outside a little bit. The weather was a little chilly, but warm enough to be out with a coat. We weren’t out long, because we had games to play!

The first game we played was pin the wing on the plane! I cut out individual wings with each kid names on it, they were blindfolded, and taped the wing on the plane. The second game we played was an airplane toss. I cut out holes in a large cardboard, had the kids make their own paper airplanes, and whoever got their paper airplane through the holes with the most points won! It was a little hard, because flying paper airplanes isn’t the easiest!

The third game was the passports! We took passport photos of each of the kids with Hadley’s Instax camera. They loved this part! Then we went upstairs, and they put their passport photo in each of their booklet. Next, they matched the different things to the passport stickers I gave them. For example, I put a photo of Jesus for the Jerusalem sticker. I couldn’t believe how much they loved this game! I put a lot of hours into making each passport booklet, so I’m super happy they loved it as much I did making it!

We sang Happy Birthday to our sweet Huxley! He was more worried about the sprinkles than eating the cupcake!

Huxley was all about his Dad today! When it was time to open presents, he wanted to be right by his Dad! It was the cutest thing.

The party was a great time! I love to go overboard with party decor. I love doing it, and I love making memories for my kiddos. It’s such a passion of mine to plan parties! We had so much fun celebrating our little two-year-old!
