To celebrate Lincoln's birthday, we invited our friends and family to enjoy a few train rides on the Stanley the Steam Engine. We've actually ridden this train before with Lincoln, and he loved it. I knew he would have a great time, and we began talking and reading about trains a few weeks ago. As soon as Conductor Tim announced it was time for the first ride, however, someone clammed up completely! Pops and Mommy climbed in (with a crying Lincoln) to help ease the panic. Seriously, we got this train for your birthday, and you don't want to ride it!!!!! Not happening! 
Happy Birthday, Lincoln! It was a fun party with lots of good friends and family who love you very much.
After a few trips up and down the street, I think Lincoln began to enjoy himself. He waved to the other riders and the crowd gathered at our house as we passed. 
Daddy and Minnie also got to ride with Linc and his buddy, Patrick. I'm glad that ended well!
Isn't it the cutest?
The kids played with the sandbox, the slide, bubbles, a pinata, the Jeep and car, and the tricycle while not riding the train. I think everyone had lots of fun. The weather was perfect, and I think everyone had taken good naps that day! 10 kids and barely any tears - successful party in my opinion!
Of course, we took a break to sing Happy Birthday and eat cake. Stein's did not disappoint - the cake was delish! (I might be enjoying a piece as I post this!)

we're sorry we missed all the festivities - little tomas has been having some difficulty sleeping during the day, he doesn't and is grumpy the entire afternoon. as soon as we figure this out we'll need to get the little ones together!
Thanks for inviting us. The girls loved the train!!! Lincoln is such a cute two year old!
