Party for Baby J.

My Baby J. is nearly 2...I can't believe it. We had his birthday party today though, because the place where I wanted to have it has free train rides on the 3rd Sat. of the month, which happened to be today.
I asked a friend from church to do his cake,
because she has this talent to make really cool cakes. She said she was going out of town, but she could make cupcake toppers - which is what she did- they turned out really cute! My favorite was the railroad tracks with the little pine trees by it.
I baked the cupcakes last night then let t
hem cool overnight. I was up early to frost them and put the toppers on. I even made more cake because I was getting nervous I wouldn't have enough. (We had plenty).
After a trip to Wal-mart...Butterfly Gram-ma picked up me, 3 of the kids and all the stuff. JimDaddy had worked late so I let him and Baby J. Sleep. They met us at the train place.

We had family and friends there - it was a relaxing, low maintenance party.
Baby J. thoroughly enjoyed himself....
On the train,

hanging out ,
eating his cupcake,
opening presents, &
riding his new scooter.

Thanks to all the family and friends that made the day so wonderful for Baby J.

He looks so big! Riding a scooter, wow! What a fun little party. Cupcakes look awesome. Cory is quite the talented girl. I assume she made them. I will upload pics in a few days when the kids start school. Love you!
