Davis's 3rd Birthday Party!

To say that Davis loves trains is an understatement! If you ask him "do you like bananas?" his answer often will be, "no, I like trains." We've tried to explain that you can like more then one thing, but he has an obsession -- and we don't mind it!

Davis, on our way to his birthday party, showing two of his absolute favorite trains, Thomas and Percy. He loves to "chug!"

We had Davis's party in the birthday caboose at the Huntsville train depot. It was the perfect place for our little guys party, though it was very chilly outside and just a little bit crowded in the caboose. I think the kids had a good time, though as the mommy I think I spent a bit of time hoping that everyone was doing ok!!

The crowded caboose. :) Note, my mom is hard at work, it would have been a lot harder without my parents helping at every turn. And, these pictures -- well, my sister was the official photographer, which was a great thing or we may not have many pictures!

Davis's accessory that he has really wanted is a Useful Engine Shed. (this is where Thomas can sleep) so he was excited to receive it! Many trains have slept in it in the last few days. :)


Thank you Aunt Annie, Uncle Will, Mom and Dad for coming!!! It was such a special time!

As for the cake. I looked up a very video on you tube on how to make a train cake. They made it look so easy! It wasn't quite as easy as they made it out to be, but with help from my good friend Miki it turned out pretty cute. I'd definitely do it again as it was a lot of fun to create! (I may never be able to look at icing though without my stomach churning as it has 4 pounds of sugar and 4 sticks of butter.

Happy Birthday Davis! I'll do a more official post on his actual birthday, but here is his celebration with all of his little buddies! Happy Birthday our precious Davis!!
