William's birthday

After we got home from the hospital on Friday, Ingrid & Ryan stopped by and brought a birthday present for William.

William has been enjoying his remote-controlled train ever since. Thanks Ingrid & Ryan!

On Saturday, my mom hosted a small birthday party for William with our family. The theme of William's party was "Choo Choo - William's 2!" since his one and only love right now is trains. The buffet table contained all his favorite foods: pizza, popcorn, pretzels, apples (with a toffee dip) and white chocolate covered oreos which were a big hit with the kids.

I did not attempt to make a birthday cake like I normally do. Instead, mom made a cake, and I borrowed a Thomas the Train cake topper (that really goes around the track) from a friend. William was way into the moving train.

Of course, as most of our gatherings go, the night ended in a dance party. We also enjoyed watching the Cardinals in the World Series that night. We're looking to clench the victory tonight after the amazing Game 6 last night - GO CARDS!!!


Aunt Suzanne and family got William a riding Thomas the Train toy that has balls that pop out of it. William has enjoyed this very much, and the sparkly conductor hat just completes the look. :)
All that partying left one tuckered out boy. Here William is sleeping next to one of his other favorite presents - a soccer ball from my brother Jeff and family.
