Party Time!

We celebrated Ryan's birthday with our families last weekend. We had a ball/sports theme for his party. (Obviously, that decision was made before the magnitude of his Thomas the Train obsession became apparent.)

His new Thomas toys were instant favorites -- he carried them around all evening after opening his presents. But it was the Mickey Mouse playhouse that was the biggest hit overall. Ryan also received a "Ni Hao Kai Lan" video, a Thomas video, a bowling set, and lots of cute clothes.






Ryan couldn't resist taste-testing the cake.










After cake, Ryan guided everyone through the Thomas dance.









On Wednesday, his actual birthday, Ryan was thrilled to find a Thomas and Friends placemat at the table. That night, we celebrated with ice cream cake. He also got a hockey stick, a hockey shirt, and another Thomas video.









All the partying wore Ryan out.
