Conductor Andrew’s Birthday Bash

 

Saturday after Andrew’s birthday we had a little family celebration. Grandma, Uncle BJ, Jenipher and her nieces Ky’lee and Aubree came for dinner. Grandma got Andrew a real firefighter suit.

We went with a train theme this year. Unfortunately the only train décor we could find was Thomas the Train. Andrew’s really not that into Thomas, but he still loved having the dining room decorated just for him! The cake (which you can’t tell but was rainbow colored inside) had a candy train on top Brett made all by himself.

He got a conductor hat to wear. (He says it’s itchy.)

Uncle BJ & Jenipher brought lots of presents! Of course big sister had to help open them. He got a fire station and new fire trucks plus a Chuggington train and and another car that propels on a ramp.

Grandma & Grandpa got him a wagon built for two. Look at his face. Smile

And again with the face… He was a little excited about cake.

Abigail wasn’t sure what to think of all the decorations and excitement!

I think his favorite gift was the train set Brett & I got him. It has a wooden track that can be rearranged & expanded on. He probably “vroomed” his train around that track over an hour. And he cried when he had to put it away at bed time. And he has insisted I help him get it out every day since then. Please note the little baby head in every picture I tried to take of him playing with the train. She earned the nickname “Baby-Zilla” because she was determined to destroy the track.

The kids loved having Grandma here for a day or so. She read them some new books before church Sunday morning.
