My little man celebrated his 2nd birthday yesterday. We did a Thomas theme even though he was asking for a football cake. (I made him a football cake last year) I got some fun ideas from a blog about games and ideas. I think it is safe to say Justus had a blast!
We made train tracks on the drive and sidewalk heading up to the house, had railroad crossing signs that said "Welcome to JJ's party" outise, "Refueling Station" by the food, and "Freight Drop Off" where the presents went. The food was in shoe boxes decorated like train cars.
We made 3 pinatas like James, Percy and Thomas out of oatmeal containers. We played a number of games including making a cousin train out on the tracks.
I had a friend make the cake and just frost it green. Then I decorated it using licorice for the tracks and jelly beans to add color and be like rock piles. We had little Thomas figures already that he plays with so I put them on the tracks. I think it turned out pretty good.
