My nephew turned 2 and we celebrated with a barn raising!

Well we taped plastic to the wall to make a barn door, but that’s a lot like barn raising right? Along with our barn door we made farm-themed food; decorated everything with pigs and cows; and of course we dressed in plaid, overalls, and braids. It was a hootin’, hollerin’, good ole time out on the farm.

M LOVES tractors. And that’s an understatement. So we made sure that the kid had tractors everywhere, including wrapped in most of his presents. This was such a fun party to prepare for and of course Pinterest helped us with ideas along the way.

Check out pictures from M’s 2nd birthday party below!

This cake though! My sister somehow became a master cake maker without any training at all.

Our farmer outfits were so much fun to put together and wear for the day – I am in my late 20s and I still love to play dress up. I hope this might inspire y’all to plan and execute your own barn-raising!
