We had his birthday party on Labor Day Weekend. We threw him a "Thomas the Train" themed party. He had sooo much fun. So did all the kids actually.

I bought all my kids matching train conductor outfits for the day. This was Brayden's, Grayson's picture is on his "10 Weeks old" post, and Kaylee had capri's with a white tee. (and a gangster cap??)

I rented a pint size version of Thomas the Train, and the kids all had fun riding for an hour! I gave each child a train whistle, and a conductor hat upon boarding the train. Even some Mommy's and Daddy's rode the train!

(Jeff even took a turn with his boys and a couple of girls hitched a ride too)

I made the adults tuna and chicken salad sandwiches, and the kids had PBJ sandwiches made into the shapes of trains

We also had pretzels, chips, veggies and fruit, and some yummy dips.

Chris made some awesome labels for the food in the shape of trains to let everyone know which dip was which.

Brayden knows how to eat cake the right way!!!

Then, we had the family out after this party was over for cake and ice cream. I made his cake for this gathering.

Not quite as fancy as the store bought cake, but it tasted yummy none the less!

He blew out the candle, and then he opened all his gifts from both parties. It was soo cute when he would finish opening a gift, he would hold his hands up and say..."Who's nother one from?" and get the next present...too adorable!

(This was a gift from Grams, and we wrapped it to make it look like Percy, Brayden's favorite train)
