All Aboard for Brucey's first party!

The Theme: For B's first party, we decided to do a train theme. There happened to be a park near us that gives free train rides on the third Saturday of every month, so it turned out perfect.

The Invitations: I made the invites look like train tickets and brought a hole puncher to punch the ticket when the kiddo's arrived (that step was missed tho.)

The Decorations: I kept the decorations minimal. We had balloons, table cloths, napkins and plastic ware and goodie bags all in primary colors.
The Cake: I can't take credit for the cake, it was Amy who gladly came over and helped my idea come to life and it was Lisa who came over early in the a.m. to assemble the cake and add the finishing touches. But if you are wondering what the green blob is in the middle, that's suppose to be a hill and yes I did that all by myself, thank you!
Finished product:
The Menu: We did a bbq, and had Choo Choo Cheeseburgers, hot dogs, salad, fishy crackers, bella cheese and mac and cheese.
The Birthday Boy: Bruce was dressed as a train engineer, although he didn't wear his hat very well ;(

Activities: The kids played at the park and rode on the train.

Goody Bags: All the kids got a train whistle, an engineer hat, a train sucker, balloon and train stickers.

The Guests:
All in all, it was a really fun birthday party. For more pictures click here
