Choo! Choo! Colin is 2!

There is nothing like a child's birthday to remind us how lucky we are to have such amazing friends and family.  Yesterday, we all gathered to celebrate Colin and the fact that he will be turning 2 this week.  It is hard to believe that it was 2 years ago that we first met him and welcomed him into our family.  He is such a wonderful boy and therefore, only a very special Thomas birthday party would do.

Train tracks welcomed guests...


A birthday banner hung on our soon (fingers crossed) to be stoned fireplace...


Goodies bags for the kids...

A Chip train...


A "Thomas" cake.  This was my first attempt at a 3-D cake and my second time doing the icing this way so I am pretty proud of the way it turned out, aside from the fact that it looks nothing like Thomas!


And a very excited little boy...



The party started and we enjoyed lots of food, cake and visiting.  Colin pretty much got given anything and everything Thomas and couldn't have been more excited or thrilled with each and every gift.  Maybe Addy felt left out?





Considering he wouldn't touch his cake on his first birthday, we've come a long way in a year!





Happy Birthday, Colin!
