Party Time!

It's been two years now and we are becoming pros when it comes to the children's party circuit... well, not really but we're getting there. This year, the theme was (what else!) Thomas and Friends. The cake, pictured above, was from Price Chopper of all places--isn't it great? Anyway, we had some old friends, some new friends, and our fabulous neighbors join us for the festivities. Here are some pics to enjoy:


We had to take that second picture above on the right because we thought it was amazing how much Olivia and Lucy look alike. Then we also noticed that their Daddies look alike too (and happened to be wearing the same shirt). Too funny! Anyway, before the cake, Tristan was hard at work in CJ's room building him a tower of blocks while Matt was passed out from too much partying. You know how those second birthdays can be!

The cake portion of the party was not nearly as exciting as last year (I'll include video of that later), but we enjoyed it just the same. Of course, when we brought Chris to pick up the cake with us at 9:30, we didn't hear the end of it ("cake! cake! cake! eat eat!!!") until 12:30 when the good stuff was actually served. Unlike last year, Chris only got one piece of cake and he used a fork to eat it (for the most part)! Then he opened presents and got some wonderful things, mainly related to Thomas. He was very happy, especially with his new trains which he got right to work with.

We all had a lovely time today and everyone, including Kasey, was ready for a nap when it was over!
