The Birthday Express

Well, H's 3rd birthday was over three months ago and I'm FINALLY getting pictures posted! The story behind this party is a little funny...  M loves trains.  She was VERY into trains for quite a while!  So we decided to throw her a train birthday party when she turned 2.  We'd talked about it a bit and H overheard and decided SHE would like to have a train party!  So we switched it up.  Little did I know, it wasn't going to be so easy to have a girly party with a train theme!

Everything train party related is Thomas themed.  I'm not a fan of "characters".  Plus, Thomas isn't very girly.  So...I browsed Pinterest and found some ideas that I liked and then adapted them to be more girly!  It was lots of fun!

Birthday Crossing sign that was on our front door.  :)

Birthday cakes!  My wonderful sister made this adorable train cake!  It couldn't
have turned out cuter!!

Decorations and Food Table

I loved the banner and clouds.  Probably my favorite elements!  :)

Food table.  Train cars full of fruits, veggies, crackers, and dip,
delicious wraps, pb&j train sandwiches, and fruit kabobs.

Present time!  H received her first trike!  So exciting!  

She took no time in jumping on and taking a spin!

She also received a box violin.  She was pretty excited!!
Playing "twinkle"!

Big girl is ready for some cake!  

Pretty excited!  

Waiting for candles!  

Make a wish!

One...two...three!!

H refused to wear the hat, so M got to wear it.
And did a super cute job of it!  

Getting a picture of four kids smiling and looking
at the camera is next to impossible!

See?

M got a chance to ride the bike when H was done!  :)

H. had a fabulous time and so did the rest of us!  Happy (waaaay late) birthday to my big girl!
