Seeing as how the boys are obsessed with Thomas the Train, we decided to have that as our theme this year. My Aunt Marlene made these adorable and absolutely delicious Thomas cupcakes for the party:
My mom and Matt's mom and my mom made Baked Potato soup and Sausage bean soup, I did sandwiches, Matt's sisters brought fruit and a yummy appetizer (thanks Brian ;) ) .
Here is Sam posing next to his Thomas table cloth. Ah, it's the little things that get them excited:
The boys in their favorite Thomas shirts that I let them both wear for the party. They love these shirts, I'm not a huge fan - so they only come out for special treats.
We practiced ahead of time blowing out the candles on their cake. I told them that if they blow out their candles they can make a wish, like, they can wish for a Thomas train table at their very own house. That was incentive enough.
Digging into the cupcakes. Last year we had to give them both a bath. This year they ate them in a pretty civilized manner and I just had to wash off their hands. They didn't want to get any on their Thomas shirt and risk me taking it off of them:
I think a pinata at their birthday party might have to start becoming a tradition. Ben and Sam are blessed with many little cousins to play with. Here they are waiting in line to whack the pinata:
Ben taking his turn. Notice it is a Frankenstein pinata.....after Halloween. Hey, I love me a deal!
Sam getting a lil sneak preview of the candy:
Alec finally broke it open!
We added a new game this year. A bean bag toss. Notice, it's a Halloween theme again :) Do I just really like Halloween or did Target have all their stuff 70% off after the holiday?
The winner of the bean bag toss, Jackson, in action!
Opening all the gifts:
The boys with two of their favorite gifts...their K-state hats and the stringy stuffing that Aunt Jamie put as a decoration in one of the presents:
It was so much fun and we were so happy our family could be there to celebrate the birth of our little miracles!
