Well, we survived. Having kiddos with birthdays back to back (March 20th and March 21st) is a bit of a task, but lucky for me they are still willing to share their party. yay! Despite the SNOW we received on party day, all of our guests showed up and the kids had a great time.
Josh was dead set on a “train party” and Julie agreed as long as she could have a pink train balloon. Really? Where on earth would I find such a thing…? I’ll tell you… www.trainparty.com, that’s where. They have everything you could ever want. (except for cool cupcake/cake toppers…I had to improvise for those.)
First off, here is I sent out to the guests. Found it on etsy. I mean really, for $10 dollars? awesome.
I searched high and low for some non-cheesy-non-thomas cake toppers, but couldn’t find any. So I decided to make my own. =) I printed Josh’s favorite railroads (what, don’t YOU have a favorite railroad??), cut them out and put them onto toothpics. Even made Julie a hot-pink railroad crossing. I helped my mom ice them and they turned out pretty cute, if I do say so myself. =)
I had big plans for these train suckers I found. Just picture them with cute little tags that say “Thanks for coming, it would have sucked without you!” I know, cute right?? But, I ran out of time and just said it as I handed them out instead. 
Here they are making their wishes…..as you can tell, they take them VERY seriously.
Btw, see that hat Josh has on? A gift from my mom…. she found the “trainman” pin on Ebay and knew Josho had to have it, after all that’s what he calls himself. Pair it with a canvas conductor type hat from Target and she had the perfect gift. SO, thoughful. Thanks, Mom!!
Since we partied it up on Josh’s birthday I felt I needed to do something special for Julie on Sunday so big stacks of pancakes were in order…Nine for Josh and 5 for Julie. As you can see….she was quite impressed. =)
