Choo! Choo! I'm Two!!

It is hard to believe that it has been two years since this sweet little boy entered our lives! The best and most exciting two years of our lives no doubt! We celebrated with a big "choo-choo" party! John Turner loves trains so we thought it would be a perfect theme for his 2nd birthday.

Our Family- September 2010

We were able to rent a train for his birthday party. He and his friends got to take train rides throughout his party. It was so much fun! Even some of the adults enjoyed riding the train too:-)The party was decorated in primary colors. I used trains with balloons tied to them as centerpieces and they turned out really cute! At the kids tables I placed a conductor's hat and train whistle for each seat. The children seemed to enjoy them! They were able to take these home with them from the party.

John Turner is fortunate to have some very special friends and family! They made his birthday so special! We appreciate each and every one of them!

Here are some scences from the train rides. This was so much fun for everyone!

After riding on the train for a while, we decided it was time for cake and ice cream! Mrs. Carol Fanning created another masterpiece for John Turner. She is truly amazing! John Turner was in awe when he saw this train cake! He enjoyed everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to him and he continued to sing it to himself the rest of the day. He also did a great job at blowing out his candles.

From these pictures you can tell that the cake was not only beautiful but also very delicious!

Then we decided it was time to open presents. John Turner wasn't as into this as I had hoped he would be. He just kept asking for more cake and more juice! HAHA!! He did get some AMAZING gifts!

Carlton and I had already given him his special gift from us the day before his party. He got his very own train table. He LOVES this thing! I mean he plays with it all of the time! He wakes up saying "play choo-choo".

We left for the beach the day after his party. Anyone who talked to him at the pool or on the beach would have to hear about his party! He told everyone about his choo-choo cake! I will be back to post more about our beach trip soon!

Happy 2nd Birthday, John Turner! We love you very much!
