Henry's party was a 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' theme this year and I had a blast getting everything together. Everything was super simple and I didn't spend nearly as much time as I did with his puppy party last year on the decorations or prep.
 |
| Stoplight Brownies, I followed the directions for more 'cake-like' brownies on the box instead of making them real fudgy so that they stuck together better in order to cut them like this. |
 |
| We had a candy train. |
 |
| These were the favors, boxes full of bubbles, little toy cars, candy and more. |
 |
| Oreos as spare tires. We thought of using chocolate donuts as well, but thought the Oreos would go over better. |
 |
| The birthday cake! I had originally wanted to put a road in the shape of a two with the car, but I hate sheet cakes and there just wasn't enough room on the round cake. I thought this was just as cute. |
 |
| I made the banners from scrapbook paper and paper cutouts. They were super simple to do and I just used a yarn needle to string the twine through them. I sewed the banners together last year with my sewing machine, both works really well in my opinion. |
 |
| Birth, 6 months, 1 year, 18 months and 2 years old. I can't believer how fast he's growing up! |
 |
| His big gift from us was his new train table. All the kids played with it for the rest of the party. I had games planned (pin the wheel on the car, racing, paper airplanes, water balloons) but they just weren't interested. From age 2 to age 7, this was it for the rest of the night! |
 |
| Henry was so pooped from all the excitement that he passed out on the floor at 7:30 and slept until 9:00 a.m. the next day. I don't think he's EVER slept that long! |
