More Birthday Party Pictures~

I am just getting around to posting a few more pictures from the birthday party. Christian had such a good time! Ed and I just had fun watching him this year. It was so cute he LOVED everything and enjoyed being able to spend time with all of his friends. One cute note I want to remember is that when we went to the party store to pick up some things for his party early in the planning process we were going to get Go Diego Go well when we got to the store Christian saw Thomas the Train and then he had his heart set on Thomas so that is where the theme came from.

Getting ready to play pin the number on ThomasChristian's turn Pulling a string on the PinottaOOOO look at all that candy!He loved blowing the party horns he we blow it and then crack up laughing and say thats so funny it was totally cute!Blowing out the candleAfter we sang Happy Birthday to him he reached over and stuck his finger in the cake and got a big taste of icing! He didn't sit down and eat cake he just ran around and got an occasional bite :)

He loved opening presents this year he was so excited just look at his face (& Mommy's)

The Train Table~

Christian LOVES trains, car, trucks, diggers, buses, pretty much anything that moves on the road! So for his Birthday Ed and I decided to get him a train table. Of course we didn't buy one new but found an awesome deal on craigslist. Here are some pictures of the night he got the table.

A friend watched him while we set the table up. This is what it looked like when he came in.He was so excited he ran right in saw it and had a BIG smile on his face and as you can tell he picked Thomas up right away and started playing!Look at that smilePlaying with MommyPlaying with Daddy- we have had to work on sharing but this table has entertained him for hours and hours and has already made lots of memories!

We set the video camera up and recorded most of the action but one of the sweetest things happened after we cut the camera off... He stopped and put his little hands up in the air and said I EXCITED I GOT A TRAIN TABLE. Then a minute later he walked around to the other side of the train table and said Thank You! So sweet!!
