J's Taxi Cab 2nd Birthday Party-Part 1 of 4
































We had a wonderful day last Saturday celebrating J's 2nd Birthday! My little New Yorker is OBSESSED with taxi cabs, so the theme came easy to me. The colors were black, yellow and I used the checkers that are found on many of the cabs. These are not normally colors I use or like, so it was a fun challenge to decorate the apartment. While we have a small space in our NYC apt,  we made it work! I love to entertain at home, so we kept the party manageable by just inviting close friends and family.

There are so many fun details to J's birthday party that it was impossible to fit it all into one post, so I'll be posting more of the individual details in the days to come. Check back tomorrow for all the details on the food and beverages. The following day I will tell you all the details of the invitation and paper products and the final day will be the "little" details. Hope you are excited! Enjoy!
