Noah's 2nd Birthday

With Noah's birthday being on the first of July, it kind of makes planning parties for him really hard.  Especially since we're either on vacation or getting ready to go on vacation, or just coming back from a vacation.  This year, we were just getting back from our Family Reunion and then it was almost the 4th of July and we were also trying to get ready for our Pioneer Trek that we were going on the following week.  So, there wasn't going to be a "party" with games and stuff for him this year.  I was determined, though to make a cake and have some presents.  I was torn between Mickey Mouse or Trains for his cake since he loves both.  But since I've done Mickey Mouse twice, I went with trains.  We had to put his birthday off for a day, so that I could get the cake made. 

Opening Presents
We got him a train table with tons of trains...He was in heaven and didn't really want to open any other presents. 

We did have him open one more present.  (We saved the rest for the next day.)  I didn't get a picture of it, but here's the video with his reaction.  He also LOVES cars...he carries around two matchbox cars in his hands at all times.  So, we got him this Lightning McQueen chair to sit in, so that he doesn't have to sit in the princess chairs anymore.  He was so excited about this!
Nevermind about the video.  I can never get the videos from my camera to work on here.
 The Train Cake
 When we sang Happy Birthday to him, he got all sad, and scooted off of the table and Maggie held him until it was over.  Not sure why he didn't like it, but he was happy after it was over and blew out the candle on his first try. 
 Loving his cake...he didn't get very messy eating with his fork.
 Opening the other presents the next day.  He got remote control train and some more match box cars.

What a fun birthday for him!! That pic of him holding his trains (or cars) in each hand is adorable!! Your cake is awesome as usual! I think that pic of him in his high chair looking straight on looks like Tad when he was little! Glad he had a fun day!!
