Party Day!

Yesterday was Scott's birthday, but today was just as important as we had close family and friends over for a party!  We did a train theme for Scott this year since that's one of his main interests nowadays.  Yesterday during Scott's marathon nap, Conner and I made a train cake (by the way, thank goodness for the marathon nap because I needed that time to get this cake done!)  I baked cake mix in mini loaf pans, then cut up two of them to make the different cars.  We then assembled and decorated the train with candy and icing.  I got the idea here: http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/choo-choo-train-cake-685795/

Aaaaannnnndd....that will have to do for now.  We've just realized that ALL of the pictures we took today are not on the memory card. Ahh, technology.  Hopefully we can find a way to locate some pictures or the ones we took will magically reappear.  Until that happens, however, just picture a cute little blond newly-two year old in an engineer outfit, complete with overalls, a red bandanna, hat, and whistle.  Imagine him opening lots of really exciting presents, and saying, "Here, Mommy" every time he rips off a little piece of paper.  Then picture lots of crazy kids running around having a fabulous time, playing on the playground, exploring the pond, and eating cake.  Adults were enjoying each others company and good food.  There, it's almost like I just showed you fabulous pictures, right?  Well, maybe not quite.......oh well.
