All Aboard the Birthday Train!

On Saturday, April 10, 2010, we celebrated Parker's BIG 2nd BIRTHDAY at the Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth, GA. We rented out a party car, and had lots of friends, yummy Domino's pizza, museum tours, and a special PARKER EXPRESS train ride! The day couldn't have been more beautiful, and the party went off without a hitch (other than the pizza oven at Domino's being broken, so they had to ship over 12 pizza's from a different location, and Parker having a complete meltdown about having to leave the giftshop after picking out his special birthday boy shirt!!). It was wonderful, and we were really blessed to get to celebrate such a special little boy with some very special people.


Decorations



The cake that I made. This cake took me 6 hours to decorate. That doesn't include the 4 hours I spent baking the cakes. But it was a hit, and Parker loved it, so I was pleased!


Impressed?? HA! I know I was!




The train car gift boxes for the kids, the ones for the babies had bath books, stickers and animal crackers in them. The ones for the big kids had an engineer hat, a wooden train whistle, stickers, and a bubble train whistle necklace.

That weekend just happened to be Caboose Days weekend, so there were fun activities for kids to do, including tattoos! Mya did great, Parker only got part of the train, because he said "ALL DONE!" and got up and ran away.

Here are some really beautiful pictures of some of the trains at the museum that my cousin Mandi took while she was there.
