Henry LOVES cars, trucks, trains - anything with wheels - so I knew his party theme would be vehicle related. We started visiting Choo Choo Bob's regularly a month ago and both kids fell in love with trains. Choo Choo! The party theme was set.
I found a great Brio train table on Craigslist (thanks Grammy for picking it up!) and Grammy and Pops found an awesome deal on a HUGE collection of wooden trains and train tracks.
Happy Birthday Little Man!
It's Party Time!
(Pictures are a collection of mine and Patti's - thanks for helping photograph, Patti! You got some great pictures!)
5 cousins in a Teepee!
How old are you, Henry?
Big Sister noticing that Little Brother needs some water. Never mind that his is the water in focus in the background... still so thoughtful:)
Can I ride this now?
My Engineers.
Enjoying a little snack with Pops.
The coolest Birthday Pinata that Aunt Sally and Uncle Manny made.
The kids know the drill - birthday boy first then youngest to oldest.
I got it, Dad. Lemme show these kids how it's done.
Ok. Just lift me higher. Then I got it.
Great job, Buddy!
Ava put on the most serious game face I've ever seen for her turn. She was soooo determined to smash it open, and she came pretty close with a lot of great hits. I love the cheering crowd in the background.
Miles is up and it'a a nail-biter -- will he smash it open before Emmett this time?!?!?!!
It's going going...
Sorry, maybe next time, Miles. Emmett's up. The crowd is confident again as they cheer him on.
Hooray!!! Fiesta time!
The kids raid the field for goodies.
For awesome things like bracelets,
snakes, parachute-guy-things, and gold fish. Thanks for always skipping the candy, Sally and Manny:)
Cake time! Cuppiecakes made by Yaya's coworker - YUM! Thanks Yaya!
(I couldn't help myself with a little last minute train craft:) )
Happy Birthday, Henry!! We are so proud of you and you brighten our lives every day. We love you so much!
A huge Thank You to all of our families to helping celebrate Henry's 1 year and for making his party so much fun. We all had a blast!!
