Bex's 2nd Birthday

We're a little slow on blogs lately. Here are some photos from Bex's birthday a couple of months ago. We were going to go with a construction site theme, but the party store didn't have any back hoes or dump trucks so we settled on his second favorite wheeled machine: trains.
Can you tell I decorated the cake myself? That's what happens when you wait till the last minute to order the cake. Turns out the need 24 hours notice (not 18) to make a Thomas the Train Cake. We ended up buying a premade one. It had orange and blue flowers around the edges so I just smashed them all down and built a track. Not my best work. I was also going to write his full name, but ran out of frosting towards the end. Thus the "Happy Birthday Bex". Next time I'll order the cake well in advance.
He had good birthday, I think. :)
Bex is a ham...just like his daddy! This is his "show me your teeth" face.
He didn't really care what the cake looked like. He totally enjoyed defrosting the train after he blew out the candle.
Happy Birthday Buddy!
