2nd Birthday!

We recently celebrated Leo's 2nd birthday. We shared the day with his buddy Elliott who is one day older. I chose a train theme since Leo is pretty obsessed these days with choo choos. I tried not to make it a character theme as I know those days will come later. It was a fun party and I thought the two boys looked adorable in their conductor hats and bandanas. Take a look.

For the invite, I used an old illustration from a Golden book. I just loved the whimsical illustration. 

I made a paper train banner which hung from the ceiling.

Leo had a ton of fun just playing with the train around the perimeter of the table, at his reach.

I loved this homemade wrapping from his friend Elizabeth. 

Hosting parties with 2 kids + a bunch more is hectic but so fun. I only wish I had gotten more photos. Happy 2nd birthday Leo!
