Birthday Party for Beck!!!

Today is the big day and Beck is so excited that all of his friends and family will be at his house to celebrate his 3rd birthday! The theme of his party is based around Thomas the Train but he pretty much loves ALL trains! He will point out train tracks anytime we are driving around. We bought a Thomas the Train costume but it was way too warm for him to wear it...I'm so bummed that we didn't get at least one picture of him wearing it. We also bought conductor hats for all of the kids to wear but it was way to windy.

Luckily, Neena and Aunt Wendy got to our house around 10am so they could watch the kids while Brent and I do stuff to get ready for the party. Beck couldn't stand it, he had to open the gifts from Neena and Aunt Wendy...of course it was lots of Thomas the Train stuff! He loved it!

I'm so glad I got family pictures before the party started because this would not have happened once everybody got here.

And, it was so nice having the party at our house versus the park...we were ready when the first guests arrived. Yeah! We set up the bounce house, roller coaster, Little Tykes climber for the kids, the fence for Kinsey, table and chairs for the adults. I loved our set-up!

Neena bought this dress for Kinsey and it was perfect for the party!

The bubble machine was fun to have but not as fun as the other stuff we had set up...

I was really hoping that everybody would eat outside especially since we had just steam cleaned the carpet and I didn't want a loaded hot dog to fall on the floor. However, it was way too hot and everybody wanted to eat inside where it was cool. Luckily, there were no accidents. Yeah!

Kinsey enjoyed playing with Beck's birthday balloon...

After we finished eating, we cut this good looking Thomas the Train cake that I got from Kroger and after the party I discovered there was a movie of Thomas in the face of the cake!

Then, we opened gifts...

It worked out perfectly because by the time we went back outside, it wasn't as hot and much more comfortable.

Brent and I never imagined that the galvanized tub would be such a huge hit with Beck, Ava and Lola. They loved playing in the icy cold water!

Then, Ava and Lola started fighting over the shovel while Beck continued to play in the cold water...

Marcus was the only boy that came to Beck's party so I thought it would be cute to get a picture of Beck and all of his "lady" friends! Too cute!

After the party ended, we went to the back to show Brian and Katherine the swing set that Brent built...Kinsey loves the slide!

All in all, the party was a huge success...I think everybody had a good time and it seemed like everything worked out smoothly. A big thanks to Neena, Aunt Wendy, Pops and Kiki for watching Kinsey and for helping clean up! Thanks to all for putting Beck's party on the right track!
