Connor's Birthday Party - All Aboard!

For Connor's 4th birthday, we had a celebration at our house with our family and friends. We decided that a train theme was most appropriate since Connor is a train fanatic these days. The boys dressed up as train engineers, we had the train table available for play, and we had train themed art projects. There were 14 kids ranging primarily in age from 1 to 6 and we also had a 1 month old join the party. I had high hopes that the kids would gather around the table doing art projects and stay in the "main" area. I also hoped to get pictures of Connor with each child so that I could print them off as a souvenir. Who was I kidding - my dad even joked about my plans! It was pure chaos (what kid party isn't), but the kids had a blast playing in all the play areas of our home and several did not want to leave. I will take that as a good sign that they enjoyed themselves.

Connor loved the fact that he got to celebrate his birthday with his friends and cousins and was all tuckered out when everyone left. He also got several great gifts from our friends and family. He said he is going to pretend that Saturday was his birthday since that was the day we celebrated - we'll allow that (if that means a quiet Sunday)!

Thank you to everyone for joining us in our baby boy's celebration of his 4th birthday! Happy Birthday Connor! Some pictures from the party...
