Andrew's 2nd Birthday Party

We had an awesome party today for Andrew's 2nd birthday! Everyone seemed to have a good time including the birthday boy. We rented a trackless train; and it was a big hit! Andrew was scared at first not wanting to ride it. After hearing lots of protesting from the guest of honor, Mommy finally got him on it and rode with him; and he calmed down immediately and enjoyed the ride after that. He ended up riding it all five trips it made riding with Nonna and Daddy.

We had lots of Andrew's little buddies come and play. It was crazy madness with all the kids running around, but so much fun! I love seeing kids playing and having a good time. I had ordered blue conductor hats and red bandanas for the kids to wear...naturally, some did, some did not. We had "stations" including Diesel's Dining Car loaded with all kinds of yummy goodies (thanks Ngoai and Papa for making food too), Cranky's Coloring Docks in his room where the kids could color and draw, Bertie's Bouncing House in our room where the bouncer was set up, and Thomas's Tattoo Station in the the kitchen.

We had a Thomas pinata that hung from the balcony just like last year. Andrew took first swing, but was more interested in hitting his daddy with the stick than the pinata! After the kids stocked up on the candy, we went inside for more sugar--birthday cake and ice cream! Andrew did a terrific job of blowing out the candles!! Then, we all just hung around and had some more fun for the rest of the evening.

Thanks for everyone coming and for those whose help made it possible! And a special thanks to Thy for taking photos of the party! I will post them up as soon as I get them!

Here's the video of the birthday boy blowing out the candles.
