If this party is isn’t PERFECTO for the end of summer, not sure what is. The birthday boy’s mom and aunt planned this sherbet-colored party inspired by this amazing Ice Cream Truck play tent and the nostalgia they felt for 80′s ice cream treats. So many sweet retro details, including Ben’s amazing outfit.

That crazy awesome cake was made by friend. Who doesn’t even have a website! We are continually amazed by how many talented women there are out there in this community. It’s so perfect.

Hey mini ice cream man!

His little face!
