Party Day

This weekend was one of those times when it hits me that I really am a mom. Funny how after four years of motherhood this fact can still sneak up on me every once in a while.

We had a birthday party for Max a the Museum of Transportation. The party included 90 minutes in the Creation Station, which is a fabulous place for kiddos under five. There are all sorts of transportation theme activities for the kids to enjoy - and enjoy they did! We invited several kids from Max's class at school and it was just so funny to see him interact with this classmates. The train table was a huge hit - lots of special pieces and even an elevator for the trains.






Once the kids had played for a while it was time for a snack. They had cute little party hats for the kids to put on while they enjoyed their snack.




As everyone finished up their pretzels and juice it was time to sing to the birthday boy. Max couldn't wait to blow out his candles. I think he realized that the quicker he blew them out the quicker he could eat his cupcake.






Nonna and Nonno were able to join us, it was a HUGE help to have someone to keep and eye on Will and he was all excited to have a little extra attention.

The highlight of the party was the train ride at the end. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the ride was the perfect end to the party. The engineer even had everyone on the train sing Happy Birthday to Max. He was proud the tell the engineer that he was four and even though he played a little shy he just loved it.

What a wonderful celebration for our little man!
