ALL ABOARD!
Jensen's 4th birthday was today and it was a ton of fun. It was a train party.

I made the Thomas cake.
I had my friends save all their diaper boxes for months. Each kid had a box covered in butcher paper. We put faces and wheels and stickers on each of their trains.
We went for a train ride around the backyard including stops at the quarry and the docks. notice cranky the crane.

Then we did "Truck toss" They threw balls in empty train trucks to fill up the cargo.

LUNCH!


Happy Birthday!
My mom made an INCREDIBLE pinata.
It didn't break very easy so after all the kids had a couple good wacks. We all tore at the pinata.

The cake turned out great! Those train boxes are perfect. What a fun party Dan! He may forget about it later, but he'll sure appreciate you later on when he looks at the pictures and realized how much you did for the party!
