Thomas Party

LT's 2nd birthday party was a couple weeks ago. Luckily, Papa and Grandma hosted it at the community club house in their neighborhood and we didn't have to subject anyone to the disaster of a house that we are currently living in as the basement finishing project drags on. The party theme was Thomas the Train and LT's Grandma (Kari's mom) did a fantastic job with the theme down to even the little details.

The 'real' Thomas train was a hit and my mom is shown here taking the two youngest Wu's on a few laps around the track. I'm pretty sure their parents offered to let her take them home more than once.

Kaden wanted more train but even with Sofi's help they couldn't figure out how to make it go.

To help with the theme, Kari found this Thomas table on Craig's List earliler in the week and it was a hit with the kids.

Even baby Ofelia enjoyed playing on the train table.

Each kid got to decorate their own little train car cake.

Even if they didn't get to eat it...

Dylan was checking out Maike's color schemes for some ideas about how to decorate his own train.

And LT was very serous about his decorating effort.

LT loves to chase around girls a year or two older than him and Elise may be his favorite target.


What? You think being in medical residency and having two young kids is some kind of excuse for being tired?

Even as the party was winding down LT was still going strong. Shown here pretending to drive the train with Baba.
