Hyrum really loved his party that we had. He loved having all of his little friends and family around to share it with. I asked
Hyrum like a month before his birthday what kind of Cake he would like, and he answered... A Train. Well I have to say that I successfully pulled it off.
I'm also sad to say,I
don't know how I will top this next year... maybe i will have to buy one :).
I just went online and found a bunch of train cake pictures and took
different ideas from each one. I bought a bunch of candy, but wasn't sure how to use it, that is where my
genius of a Mother came in. Two minds are better than one. Especially at 2am in the morning. Mom was a trooper, it was really fun to make, we had a great time.

Here is the Engine Car

The Coal car and candy car

The Animal Car and the crazy gummy worms on toothpicks car, which we thought kinda looked like balloons :)

Licorice for the track and O
reos for the wheels
Cade and Crew came early so they got to help
Hyrum stuff the candy in the Pinata.

They were doing such a good job sharing and taking turns, Look how focused they all are.

The Giraffe pool came back for a second
appearance this birthday.
Hyrum remembered it and asked for it.
Luckily we stored it well and it
didn't have any holes in it. The kids really loved it again this year.
Hyrum LOVES breakfast (just like his mommy) so we decided to have pancakes and fruit and juice for food, instead of a BBQ. It really was fun. This is
Hyrum with his darling cousin
Brookies.

The cake.
Hyrum and his ever so talked about "
Parata" (as
Hyrum would call it- a mix between Pinata and
Purana- due to his Tarzan watching Kick)

Friends and family waiting for their turn on the Pinata.

My little slugger.

Phil and Heathers little slugger !
Cade actually brought the whole Pinata down with his first swing or two. Now it
didn't totally break, so we tied it up again around the whole thing and let the kids have a few more smacks at it.

The gathering of the goodies.

Hyrums successful large bag of candy.
The end of the party, everyone has gone home, We are all cleaning up, and Hyrum has pulled the stool over to the cake and... well.... enjoyed the remaining. He was really having a good time, it didn't matter. It was his cake, right :) !!
Happy Birthday my Sweet Boy!!! WE love you!
