We celebrated Will's birthday with close friends and family on Saturday. Choo Choo's were the theme of the day, and let me tell you, they did not disappoint!!! We rented a train from a rental place here in town. We had no idea if Will was too young for this, how he would react, if it would be a waste of money, etc. All of our expectations were exceeded when we saw Will's reaction to the train. I think he screamed Choo Choo about a million times. He clapped, yelled "All Aboard," and rode and rode until we didn't think he could ride anymore. God totally pulled through for us with the weather! It was chilly, but we could not have asked for a more beautiful January day (especially since snow/ice started falling on Sunday night!!) I looked at John on Friday night and told him, as I was fixing party favors and wrapping ribbons, that I hoped Will enjoyed his party half as much as I enjoyed planning it. I love this kind of thing and it was so fun for me to try and think of ways to make this a perfect day for Will-because he is perfect in every way!I will let the pictures tell the story of our day...
I always wish I could have a zap person at Will's birthday parties. Even though I took about 100 pictures, I still managed to only have 1 with my dad in there, none of my brother....oh well.We had so much fun...and are still having fun. Will got super lucky as his birthday week got off to a great start with school being closed Monday AND Tuesday. Tomorrow is Will's actual birthday-I have taken the day off to spend the day with him AND we get to find out if he is going to have a brother or a sister. What a fun day!!
*The 2 on the door, All Aboard banner, and RR crossing signs were all made by my mom. I can envision it, but she is the one that makes it happen!! I am so thankful she is talented AND willing :)

SO SO cute!!! I have never heard of being able to rent a train before, but totally might have to look into that for Isaac's 3rd. :) Thanks for sharing your pics, Will is growing up so fast! Happy Birthday Will!!
Ellen, I just googled train rental + birmingham. I used Fun Source Rental and I am almost positive they have another location in Huntsville which for some reason is where I think yall are....I could be totally off!
It turned out great Brooke! I am trying to find a 1 to put on our front door for Addies 1st birthday. Can you let me know how your mom made that or do you know somewhere I can get one???
Great job, I am sure Will won't forget his 2nd birthday!
What a fun 2nd birthday! Your mom did an awesome job on the decorations and the cake was so cute!
Lunch at the Galleria & playing on the hot dog truck is one of our favorite things to do too!
