We had the boys' birthday party yesterday. It was a Thomas the Tank Engine themed party and it was so much fun! There aren't as many Thomas party decorations out there as I was expecting so we had to improvise a little bit.
We used the boys' Thomas toy and made different cars for food. The animal car had animal crackers, coal car had oreos, log car had pretzel sticks, and we had cheeto puffs for train smoke. We made railroad crossing signs out of straws.
We served pizza as the main food. We had diesel fuel (Hawaiian Punch) and a water tower with water bottles.
One of the nurses from the NICU made the cupcakes and smash cake. She did an awesome job and they were delicious! She made Thomas cupcakes, some blue butterfly cupcakes for Lucas, and a conductor's hat cake for Miller's smash cake.
I wasn't sure how Miller would do with cake since he has feeding issues and an oral aversion, but he did well. He basically just played in it and ate some icing, but it was enough for some cute picture opportunities.
Declan surprised me by trying to blow out the candles on his cupcake. He needed a little help from Daddy though.
After food and cake, we opened presents. We wanted to make sure Daddy was home for the cake and presents part. He had to work that morning but got off right as the party started, so he only missed a few minutes.
We took a picture with Miller's nurses from the NICU. I was so happy they got to celebrate with us!
Declan and Miller got so many great presents from their friends. He played with his train set all night and even tried to take the trains to bed with him last night!
All in all, we had a great birthday party for the boys!
