Let It Snow: Jake Turned Two!

Can you believe it? My little super hero turned TWO on October 22! It is true, time really does fly! I am usually very certain to make sure we celebrate (and document) his birthdays ON THE DAY. For example, his first birthday portraits HAD to be taken on Oct 22, his 18 month portraits HAD to be taken on April 22, etc. Yes a little OCD but I want to remember him exactly the way he was on that day! Thankfully our photographer understands my "on the date" hang up and works with me! Well this year ON THE DATE was not possible. You see Jake has an obsession with Thomas the Tank Engine. The local kids farm and petting zoo has a Thomas train so we had to have the party there...no questions about it! He had to ride Thomas! When I called to book the party Thomas was all booked up on Saturday for local festivals so we could have the party on the 22nd BUT Thomas would not be available. Another plain ole train would be there but not Thomas. Well this MaMom got her priorities straight real quick and decided that Thomas it would be. So we partied on the 23rd!

We had a great time! Most of Jake's friends were there and they had a ball! They fed sheep, goats, pigs, and rabbits. They rode the pony cart and horses. Milked a goat. And rode Thomas! Jake got to drive so it was the highlight of his day! Then they played in the hay maze and on the playground. I don't think any of them ate much at all. They were just to busy! But we served chili dogs, chips and dip, and the most awesome cake you have ever seen (thanks to Veronica Hayes). The adults had a great time too! It was a little chilly but you never know about the weather in these parts this time of year. Maybe next year I will look for an indoor location.

Here are some of the highlights from the day!
