Choo Choo Arden Turns Two
Thursday, March 7, 2013
We celebrated Arden's birthday on Sunday. She absolutely loves trains right now, so naturally we did a trained-themed party for her. Luckily there's a miniature train at a park close by, so that made things a little easier. It was also WAY more laid-back than her 1st birthday, which was admittedly, a little over-the-top ;) Luckily it wasn't too cold (or wet) for an outdoor party this year. You can check out my Pinterest board for the party to see all of my sources and inspiration!

| We ordered sandwiches for an easy, no-utensils lunch. |

| Yet another train ride...one of many ;) |
