Choo Choo

Warning: This is a long post.

Eric is out of town for Isaac's birthday on Monday. So we celebrated his birthday today.



Note: My camera was on Auto, but the flash didn't cooperate, so some of these pictures are fuzzy, dangit.






Dana and Lauren (Eric's sisters, in from Chicago) went to Target early for batteries and came home with donuts (powdered sugar, as you can see).





The Aunts also bought this Geo-trax plane for Ike.






Cal will not smile normal for a picture at this point in time. I went through at least a couple years of my childhood like this, but I'm hoping Cal will grow out of it earlier.


Cal got Ike this car that sort of falls apart and makes crashing noises when it hits a wall. He told us later that he got it "for both of us."








Eric and I got him a firehouse. A manlier version of a dollhouse. It came with a bunch of furniture, too. Craig's List is awesome.



Grandma Barb and Grandpa Steve got him this digger. Isaac is obsessed with diggers and makes a "ckkccckkkccc" sound when he sees one.Eric wears the hat well. Sexy, sexy man.Dana and Sous Baker, LaurenFinishing touches...

And, Walah! The cake. Choo Choo!

Isaac completely dug us singing to him. Then he blew out the candles himself. Or sort of breathed them out. I'm not sure how he knew. Nobody told him to do it. He's a birthday genius.


The small party was at Choo Choo Bob's- a local train store that has 6 train tables. Sammy and Cal going crazy with the balloons.

Calvin- he smiled normal because Laura took the picture. Laura, how did you get him to do that?





Mado in her princess attire.



Atticus

In the front of the store there are about four electric trains running around. This is Isaac's favorite part.
