More 3rd birthday party (Thomas the Tank Engine)
For Elena’s 1st birthday party I designed, printed, and mailed invitations in a book theme since that was her favorite thing:
For her second I designed and e-mailed invitations:
and for the 3rd I used punchbowl:
For her upcoming 4th birthday party I wrote to a few friends over facebook messaging and have barely planned anything. Poor Colin.
While massively pregnant I sidewalk chalked train tracks all over the sidewalk for Elena’s 3rd birthday party. I have no idea what I was thinking, nesting maybe? I also drew Thomas and made signs.
There was a “coloring station” and a “loading area” for favors:
A “dining car” complete with an engine pulling a coal car (grape jelly beans), jobi logs (pretzels), a gravel car (m&ms) and an zoo car (animal crackers). The drinks included water for steamies and apple juice as diesel fuel.
E built the train table that goes over the coffee table (and I painted it). I hope Colin likes trains too!
