Jude's birthday this year was extra special. This was the first time he had an opinion on what type of party he wanted me to throw him. I was going to throw him a super hero party but he was very against it. He kept saying that he didn't like that idea. And one day as I was scanning the internet I very serindipty-ously came across pictures of a train party. Jude was all over it! So I set the wheels in motion and started planning a train party. Black electrical tape all over the house to look like train tracks, boxes done up to look like box cars, and a train cake. We even had a pin the caboose on the train game, bridge up bridge down (red light green light, but for trains) and a coal collecting game which included candy. Then I took the kids inside to decorate the cake.  They had such a fun time sprinkling and accesorising their box cars. Afterwords the kids just zoomed around the tracks in their trains. It was so much fun and we are so happy that Jude is a part of our family. Happy 4th my wonderful boy!
