My little Parker Wayne had his first Birthday Party today! It was a huge success to say the least. The planning only took 6 months. Every little detail was planned out. The entertainment was a huge hit. I hired a train to come to the house and pull the kids around in the backyard. The kids loved it. The decorations included RR signs, Happy Birthday signs, balloons, and streamers. The cake was a train cake make of candy and cookies accompanied by orange cupcakes. Each child got a engineers hat with their name on it along with a bandanna goody bag.
A total of 42 people came to the party! Big crowd! After an hour of riding the train we opened presents and then had cake. Parker got fussy during presents but a bottle was a quick fix to that. I got so carried away with all the activities and fun I forgot about his bottle schedule. Milk is a MUST to that boy! He picked at his cupcake at first but quickly dug in and enjoyed every minute of it.
After opening all the toys, clothes, books, trike, wagon and 4-wheeler, Parker opened a very special gift that Todd and I gave him. It was also a shocker for everyone. When the present was opened there laid some sonogram pics. I said "oh look Parker, it's your sonograms pictures". To follow was a shirt that read "I'm gonna be a big brother". I then held it up for everyone to see! It took a minute for everyone to catch on but once they did they were very excited. It was such a fun way to share the news!

I hope every one had a great time and we are thankful for those who were able to make it. We look forward to sharing many more birthdays with family and friends!
