The Livezeys: April 2013

Happy 2nd Birthday to Will!

His birthday party was easy to pick this year thanks to his obsession with trains, or as Will calls them "choo-choo". I got his invitations, thank-you notes, banner printables, etc. off of Etsy. I had a T-shirt made with a train for him to wear. I ordered engineer hats for all of the kiddos to wear and some train whistles for gift bags. The cupcakes were set-up as being pulled by a train, and we decorated the food table with an old wooden train.

Cupcake Train

This train was made by Poppa for me when I was Will's age.

We had the party at our house again this year and Gram made the best decoration/toy ever! I found the idea on Pinterest, and as usual, she was able to go above and beyond to make it perfect! We started with a few cardboard boxes, a box cutter, and some tape. Will knew when we were done that it was a "choo-choo". We left it at Gram's office to be painted. I couldn't wait for him to see it all fixed up for his party.

Sadly, we made a big production about it and tried to force him to play in it, so of course he wouldn't. At one point he finally got in with Kennedy, and then it fell over, so of course he was done with it for the rest of the day. The other party guests had a blast playing in it though!

Uncle Brandon provided another form of entertainment...bubbles! And not just regular bubbles...big, huge, giant bubbles!

We had all kinds of food and of cupcakes. Will was much more eager to dive into his cupcake this year than he was for his 1st birthday cake. He was covered in blue icing!

He got all kinds of great gifts! Our house looked like a train toy store! He also got some tractors, a wheelbarrow and gardening set, clothes, shoes, and golf clubs!
