Back in June/July...

Our first son turned 2 in the middle of June and then I had my second baby boy 6 days after!  We had Dev's birthday party the first weekend of July and it was a train birthday!

I researched on Pinterest for ideas of what to do since mommy brain was prohibiting me from thinking even the most basic thoughts, let alone plan a toddler party.

I found several ideas for birthday banners.  Here is the Pin.

Here is what I came up with:

I cut out all of the trains and wheels and then my awesome sister-in-law wrote out the letters on it.  I was very happy with how it turned out.

Next I wanted to do something like this.

Here is part of what my brother-in-law created:

He was ridiculously amazing and made an entire train, but I had to feed the baby and didn't get more pictures.

I also really wanted to make an awesome train cake, with fondant and everything.  I had it all planned out, yet it did not work out for me.  I guess I underestimated how busy I would be with a toddler and a 2 week old (HA!)

Even though I am not entirely proud of my work, I will share what I did here:

I think what I was most disappointed with was the color.  If I had had more time, I could have perfected it, but I did not.

So there it is, the highlights of my 2 year old's train birthday party!
