Chugga... Chugga...Two! Two!

We celebrated Connor's 2nd birthday on Saturday, March 7 (which is his birthday!). We were so lucky to have such wonderful weather, 63 and sunny! Because the weather was so cooperative, we were able to spend a lot of time out in the backyard. I built a train out of cardboard boxes so the kids could play in it. I found cute little wooden trains for each of the kids, so they decorated them. They also swung on the swing set and ran around. We had food inside. The food consisted of Wagon wraps (grilled chicken wraps), Station House Sandwiches (pb&j train shaped sandwiches), lumber (pretzel rods), Livestock (smokies wrapped in bacon with brown sugar), coal (cocoa puff marshmallow treats), stop lights (strawberry, pineapple, and green grape skewers), and wagon wheels and cheese (macaroni and cheese with wagon wheel pasta). We had sweet tea, strawberry lemonade, and water (diesel fuel) to drink. All in all, I think everyone had a great time celebrating our sweet little 2 year old. I know he really enjoyed playing with everyone, and we were so glad to see everyone. Below are some pictures of the party. Thank you to everyone who came. We really appreciate you spending your afternoon with us!

"Baggage Claim" with all of the "suitcases" I put together for the kids


Inside was a hat with their name on it, bandana, train whistle, wooden train, and a cookie
