Davis is THREE!!!!

(Our sweet niece- Claire, who just turned one)

Davis turned 3 on 9/30/2011 and we celebrated with a Thomas the Train Birthday Party with family and friends (thanks for hosting Stacey). On his actual birthday he took colorful cupcakes to preschool to share with his classmates and teacher. He told Chris his favorite part of the day was "licking the icing" from the cupcakes. I can still remember him licking the icing off his 1st cupcake when he turned one...

On our way home Friday night to Winchester we made a quick stop at one of Davis's favorite stores: Bass Pro Shop and he sat on each 4-wheeler and rode on most of the boats.
Bass Pro is a wonderful place to visit with kids.

We decided to go with a train theme because Davis loves trains. It is pretty easy to find Thomas the Train decorations so that made it easy. Our niece Natalie did a FABULOUS JOB making a Thomas sugar cookie cake....

We decided to play a couple games at the party.
First game- Pin the Number on Thomas.
Birthday Boy Davis got to go first!
Aunt Stacey helped get all the kids ready to pin the number...

Claire did not like the bandanna so we let her go without

Next we played Musical Trains and the kiddos had to sit down on paper trains when the music stopped.

Hot Thomas: We passed "hot" coal around and stopped when the music stopped. Young and older kids enjoyed this game.

I think he liked it- cookie cake and icecream- Thanks Natalie!

Conductor Davis- He didn't want to wear his conductor hat or bandanna at the start of the party but put it on at the end.

I think that smile says it all... plus Grammy asked him what he thought of his party and he said "it was GREAT" !!!
