Hot Rod! A Supercool Race Car Birthday Party

When photographer Gus Dizon and his wife found out their adopted son was on his way, their good friend Hilary Freeman of The Sugar Studio immediately started planning the little one's first birthday party. Inspired by "the birthday boy's dad loves race cars and the parent's actual race to the hospital once they were given the green light that Ayden was on his way," Hilary says, "Ayden's birthday was more than a birthday celebration. It was also the first anniversary of his adoption journey."

Hilary went full speed ahead with awesome details, including a "pit crew" play area, a race car decorating station, a license plate welcome sign, and even a "parking area" (for strollers, of course). Check out these details and so many more now!
