The train cake and the party

I'm back!

Last night was the opposite of fun. Something I ate decided to take my stomach and twist it in unnatural shapes, which of course lead to there being insufficient room for any food I had consumed. Good times.

I am still slowly returning to the land of the living.

Sanders LOVES trains. We talk about trains (choo choos) all the time.

When I found a train cake online I knew it would be perfect.

Thank you everyone who came to help celebrate our little guys second birthday!

 Some party goers.

 He had to take EVERY present he opened over to Grandma Candace to show her!

 This is the part where Tennyson asks to take pictures. The next fourteen pictures are how Tennyson wanted the day to be remembered.

Umm....smile much?

This has got to be the most expression ever caught on film from Uncle Alex!

 When it was time to blow the candles out, Sanders freaked. Not sure why, but he REALLY didn't want to be there at that moment.

 He got over it once he realized that we were going to let him sit on the table right. next. to. the. cake.

 He loved sitting there eating whatever suited him at the moment. There was a TON of good stuff to choose from.

A successful party leaves your house a mess and the cake unrecognizable!

 Tennyson helped me pick out all the candies to decorate it with. He reminded me to thank him for this little service a few times that day.

This was probably one of my favorite cakes to make. Lots of little details.

Sanders adored it and insisted on pointing it out to all the guests as they arrived for the party. That right, there is enough payment for any mom's heart.
