Landon's 2nd Birthday!

Each year on Landon's birthday we fill his room with balloons so that when he wakes up he knows it is a special day.  Even though it technically wasn't the exact day we did it anyway as we have been talking about a train birthday party for a few weeks now.  He was excited to see his balloons even though he was poopy and that is all he would saw.

 Landon has so many loves at this age between Bubble Guppies, Mickey Mouse, sports, cars, Jack the Pirate, Thomas the Train, etc.  However, we decided to do a Thomas and Friends birthday theme. We also struggled deciding where to have it as you never know on the weather in February.  The cheapest/easiest way was the Big Apple in Kearney.  I could invite all the family, we could all play with him and not have to pay admission for everyone.  Plus, it was a very central location for everyone.  Landon had never been there before so I was excited to see his reaction. 

The train ticket invitations I designed.

My birthday boy!

He loved all the balls.  Him and Uncle Scotty were stashing them in baskets to shoot.

Daddy even had fun!

Ahhhhhhhh, look at all the balls flying!  

Aunt Carissa even joined in the fun!

So did Papa..

and the Grandmas!

Shooting everyone below!

Then Landon found the giant slide; which turned into his favorite.  He went down it probably 15 different times.  

Landon loved all the balls!

Uncle Scotty is silly; definitely a kid at heart.

The traveling grandparents!  They were at my cousins state bowling tournament in Lincoln in the morning and then of course made it to the party!

Mommy even joined in the fun!

A family picture attempt....let's just say that it didn't work out so well.  He kept going down the slide and then would say again...again...again... no time for a silly picture. He had things to do!

 

We finally were able to get him to sit down to sing Happy Birthday; however, he didn't even want to eat any cake.  All he wanted to do was play!

Weeeeeeeeeee!

Landon looking at all his presents.  Funny story is while at the Big Apple we couldn't even get him to even open his presents; he was too busy playing.  So...mommy opened them all for him while we were there.  When we got home he was excited to see everything he got.  He even got a black kitty clock from Grandma and Grandpa Dudo that didn't make it in the picture.  That will go in his big boy room!

The three stools from my parents.  They are in the process of making him a stop sign table for his big boy room.  

Landon's party was a huge success!  It was so fun that all the family got to join in and play along with him.  Landon is blessed to have such amazing family. Especially Uncle Scotty who kept going up and down the slide, up and down the slide, up and down the slide!  We will all sleep well tonight!
