Chugga Chugga Two Two! and also Merry Christmas ;)

We had so much fun celebrating Christmas this year. Brooks was more into the whole thing and he got really excited over his big present...
Train table of course!

It actually belonged to cousin Chase but he has outgrown it so we were happy to adopt it!

He also got this giant Thomas train tunnel which I really bought for his birthday party but they had a lot of fun with it.

I did a dry run of his birthday cake...


Which the boys enjoyed!

We brought the train table home where it took up residence in the playroom.


He also got "tub trains"

and a warm day in between christmas and new years to play at the beach!

I did a little amateur photo shoot trying to capture a good pic of those curls!



Cruisin around the hood with his buddy Walker


We ended up waiting until Jan. 9th to have his birthday party but it was so much fun!
Nana was a good sport and played trains the whole time she was here. Brooks loved it!


The theme for his party this year was "Chugga Chugga Two Two!"

Everyone had fun painting trains, playing trains, eating cupcakes! Only problem with the whole party is the icing turned all the kids diapers bright green the next day.  I had every intention of making the cupcakes and frosting from scratch and had my recipes all pinterested and ready to go but then the day before the party I decided to order them from Publix because-pregnant.  Oops!!




Happy Birthday little buddy! We love you!!
