Although James doesn’t officially turn 4 until Thursday, we had his party this past Sunday. This year’s theme was Disney’s Cars. I suppose I shouldn’t assume you have seen either of the Cars movies, so here is a trailer for the first movie in the series that was released in 2006:

 

Here are a few pictures from the party:

 

Jeff and Stacy sitting on a red couch with James wearing glasses and a gray shirt featuring a yellow number 4 and a red cartoon car, with a striped pillow, window blinds, and a table holding a red cup, and candle jar in the background.
