Birthday and Barrel Train

We finally had Luke's birthday party...only 3 weeks after his real birthday:) What a "cool" party as Luke would say. We started off the day getting all ready for our guests to arrive. I wanted Luke to wear something special for his birthday...so I asked a friend from MOPS if she could sew a cupcake with 2 candles on a shirt and here it is! Isn't it super cute? As we were planning the big day, we were trying to decide what we would have at the party. We thought of those big bouncy things, but we finally decided on this Barrel Train. This was just fabulous! The sweet man came to our house, pulled out these barrels that he had made into this train, wore a conductor outfit and pulled the kiddos all over. I didn't put any pictures on here, but there were some adults that rode this train as well. Dave had to ride with Luke the first time around:)
By the end... Luke and Eva (this is what Luke calls Eveley)rode all by themselves...ADORABLE! The real theme of his party was sports...Luke LOVES sports. He wakes up playing ball and he goes to bed playing ball. So I was able to get this sports cake...how fun?!


Luke was so excited to blow out his candle. We actually did it twice for the camera:)

Last call...this was after playing games, having cake, opening a few presents (Luke didn't want to sit to open all of them), running through bubbles, and just so much fun. As the kids would pass by they would wave...again, adorable!



What a great day with a bunch of family and friends!
